Kate Wilson uses a practical, person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She combines talking therapies with hypnotherapy where helpful and keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. Clients can expect a calm, warm presence and clear steps to work on the issues that matter to them.

With a background in psychology, Kate draws on ten years of clinical experience. She has a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics, LSE.

Background and approach

Her earlier work included research psychology roles at LSE, and she now also offers clinical supervision to other counsellors. Kate has worked with people facing bereavement and anxiety. She has been involved with Cruse as a support worker and supervisor, and she is an affiliate for Anxiety UK.

Confidence and self‑esteem have been a long focus of her work and were the subject of her Masters dissertation. Her style is warm and open. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and straightforward, with practical tools you can use between meetings.

She adapts methods to what helps each person most, using a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred listening, hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques. People often come for help with relationships, parenting strain, addictions, career pressures, sleep and eating struggles, or end-of-life and hospice concerns.

Kate helps clients talk through feelings, set realistic goals and build small, manageable changes over time.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online counselling

Kate commonly combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and make space for difficult thoughts while identifying personal values to guide change; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and practising small experiments to change them; it often helps with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adapt methods so they feel useful. Clients are involved in deciding which techniques to try, and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, ongoing reflection or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options make it easier to work on goals despite busy schedules or travel constraints, while keeping continuity across weeks.
