Kate Neligan is a counsellor with 16 years of experience. She works from the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers straightforward, calm support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes.

She uses an integrative style that draws on different ways of working. That means she adapts the work to each person rather than applying one fixed method. Sessions can focus on resolving a current problem or on exploring deeper patterns that repeat in relationships and mood.

Background and approach

Her approach is warm and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Conversations cover emotional concerns such as depression, trauma, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related issues.

Kate has experience from both independent practice and the NHS, giving her a broad perspective on care pathways and community services. She also supports people coping with career strain, caregiver stress, ADHD, and parenting pressures. The work can include short-term solution-focused work or longer psychodynamic exploration depending on need.

Sessions are offered in English and are available online in a range of formats. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to suit the person’s circumstances. Fees vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and closeness. It helps when worries about trust, abandonment or emotional distance come up in relationships and day-to-day life.

Client-centred work focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor follows the person’s agenda, offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own answers for issues like low self-esteem, decision-making or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend short-term or longer-term ways of working. That decision is made together and can change as the work progresses.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people speak face to face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be useful if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching or when writing feels easier than talking. These options aim to provide flexibility and continuity for people juggling work, family and other commitments.
