Kate Anderson is a BACP counsellor who welcomes people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something in life needs to change. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through low mood, anxiety, relationship strain and struggles with meaning. Sessions are practical and paced to each person.

She draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit different moments in the work. That might mean looking at how past relationships influence current behaviour or using practical strategies to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and self-compassion are often woven into sessions to help people notice their experience with less reactivity. A core part of the work is exploring how family roles and early attachments shape patterns today. Kate helps people name these patterns and practice new ways of asking for help, setting boundaries, or relating to others.

This can feel freeing when long-standing habits have become limiting. Practical skills for coping are balanced with deeper reflective work. Clients may explore values, vocation, and sense of self alongside techniques to reduce anxiety or manage anger.

The aim is steady change rather than quick fixes. With five years' experience and BACP registration she works with concerns such as stress, depression, self‑esteem, parenting strains, intimacy issues, and career worries. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what will make life more manageable and meaningful.

How Kate’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take meaningful action in line with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and making decisions about life changes. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and communication, helping people understand why they react as they do and try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust what you do in sessions based on what helps most. This collaborative approach means techniques and reflections are tailored to your needs and preferences.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and shared exercises, phone sessions are useful when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or when written reflection feels easier. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week and keep momentum between sessions, while still working with the same therapeutic ideas and goals.
