About Kate
NCPS; 10 years' experience. Kate Wilson works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and life changes. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, family and parenting concerns, eating and sleeping problems, career and anger issues, bipolar and compassion fatigue, and offers coaching and hypnotherapy privately.
Kate trained in psychology, completing a BA (Hons) in Psychology at the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology at the London School of Economics. She previously worked as a research psychologist at LSE and now practises as a counsellor and psychotherapist. She is listed with NCPS and offers clinical supervision to other therapists.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based work. She uses these methods flexibly and will use the techniques that best fit a person’s needs at a given time.
Clients can expect straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on practical steps and reflections. Kate has experience supporting people through bereavement, having worked for Cruse as a support worker and supervisor, and she is an affiliate for Anxiety UK in relation to anxiety work.
She practices in South West England, near the Devon–Cornwall border, and offers counselling to adults in English. Her practice includes help with specific issues such as abandonment and attachment, fertility and end-of-life concerns, communication problems, and separation and divorce matters.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to take actions that matter to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own answers and build self-understanding.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which combination of ACT, CBT, client-centred techniques or hypnotherapy might suit a person’s goals and preferences. That decision can be reviewed as work progresses.
The practical benefits of remote work depend on the session formats Kate offers; please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals using remote sessions can still use the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work, and the focus remains on clear goals, skills practice and regular review.
