Kate Williams helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She uses a calm, person-centred way of working that focuses on the individual’s experience. Kate’s language is simple and direct so people can feel heard and understood from the first session.

Kate qualified as a person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom in 2022. Before qualifying she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity supporting people who self-harm and who have suicidal thoughts.

Background and approach

That experience shaped her steady, non-judgemental manner in sessions. Her style is client-led, which means she follows what matters to the person in front of her. She sits alongside people as they talk through hard feelings, painful memories and confusing thoughts.

The aim is to help people feel less alone with their experience. Kate draws on Client-Centred Therapy methods to build trust and understanding. Conversations are guided by what the person wants to work on rather than a set agenda.

This suits people who need space to make sense of emotions and to try out new ways of coping. She works with a broad range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and communication problems. Kate also supports people affected by caregiver stress, eating and food-related issues, and family of origin problems.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online to fit around busy lives.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and valuing the person’s own experience. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance and genuine attention so people can explore their feelings and make their own choices about change. This approach is helpful for anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems and processing painful experiences.

Kate practices in a client-led way, meaning she follows what matters most to the person in the session. She works collaboratively to choose approaches that fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed method. Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process and will be reviewed together as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for richer conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break, and messaging or chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
