About Kate

NCPS (National Counselling Society). Five years' experience. Kate Wolsey is a counsellor who works with bereavement and loss alongside a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.

Kate describes her practice as integrative, drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and existential ways of working. Her main approach is person-centred which means the client directs the pace and focus of sessions. She helps people talk through their thoughts and feelings and decide what to work on together.

People come to her for grief and loss, stress, trauma and abuse, and for intimacy or parenting struggles. She also supports those dealing with eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions and ADHD-related difficulties. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and fatherhood matters, domestic violence, and first responder issues.

In sessions she uses conversational reflection and exploration to help people make sense of painful experiences. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at past patterns that affect current relationships. Existential work examines meaning, responsibility and choices when life feels uncertain.

Kate works in English and accepts international clients. Practical next steps are to use the site's matching process to choose an appointment time and begin with an initial session. Fees vary by location and sessions are on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches inform online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client brings. It helps when someone needs time to set the pace and decide which concerns to work on. Psychodynamic therapy pays attention to past relationships and repeating patterns that affect current life, which can be helpful for relationship or attachment difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree a way of working together based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about how much psychodynamic or existential work to use are made collaboratively during early sessions.

Practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the options offered, which are not detailed in the biography. Please confirm the available session formats before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered professionals and therapists often use these practical features to help people keep counselling consistent alongside everyday life.
