Kate Reeve, BACP

Kate Reeve is a counsellor who helps people struggling with anxiety, low self‑esteem, depression and stress. She also supports those facing trauma, domestic violence, grief and the everyday wear of caring roles. Kate works in English and Polish and brings nine years of practice to her conversations.

She aims to help people recognise what gets in the way of their strengths. Sessions focus on spotting blocked talents and making practical, manageable changes. Kate writes that she values each person as unique and wants to help them move toward a more satisfying life.

Her approach is integrative and draws on several therapeutic models to fit individual needs. That means she may use ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment‑based ways of working depending on the concern. The aim is to choose techniques that suit the person rather than force one method on everyone.

Kate has a particular interest in trauma, including PTSD and complex trauma, and in supporting people who identify as neurodivergent. She also works with problems linked to relationships, parenting stress, addictions, sleep and appetite difficulties, and coping with major life changes.

People who meet her can expect a supportive, person-centred style. Kate describes her favourite part of counselling as watching people grow, let go of what holds them back and reach their potential. She sees the therapeutic relationship as a respectful collaboration toward clearer choices and better day‑to‑day coping.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, and then commit to behaviours that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, sleep and low mood. Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape current coping and connection, and can help with relationship difficulties and issues around abandonment or trust.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and the problem areas, and then suggest which methods might help most. Clients and the therapist can adjust the plan over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check‑ins during a workday or making it simpler to attend while caring for others. Online work can also let people access a therapist who speaks their language or has relevant experience regardless of geography.
