Kate Woodall offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She makes space for ordinary worries and big losses, and helps clients find small, workable steps forward. Kate speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.

She draws on six years of experience working with people who have both physical and mental health challenges. That includes time providing bereavement counselling in a UK hospice, and supporting people coping with long-term illness and chronic pain.

Background and approach

Kate supports people dealing with workplace strain, loneliness, guilt, and changes in life direction. In sessions she focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She adapts the pace to each person, using conversations that help build motivation, boost self-esteem, and clarify what matters most.

Practical tools and short exercises are introduced when they feel useful. Her approach includes client-centred listening, mindfulness techniques to manage anxious or low moods, motivational interviewing to help people find direction, and somatic work that connects bodily sensations to emotion. These methods are used as needed rather than as a single fixed programme.

Sessions are offered in English and held online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Getting started is straightforward: follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits you.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own answers; this is useful for worries, low mood and relationship strains.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce anxiety and rumination. These practices help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them, which can ease stress and improve sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kate will discuss different methods and help decide which fits best with a person's goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That collaboration continues as progress is reviewed and techniques are adjusted.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility for different moments and needs. Video suits deeper conversations when face-to-face connection matters, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is low, and text or live chat can fit into a busy day or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving or health limitations while keeping therapy accessible.
