Kate Wilson, NCPS

Kate Wilson is a psychotherapist and counsellor with ten years of practice. She holds NCPS and draws on a background in psychology to help clients who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Her manner is warm and open, and she aims to offer a steady, non-judgemental space for people to talk things through.

She trained in psychology with a BA (Hons) from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. Before qualifying as a therapist she worked as a research psychologist at LSE, and she also works as a clinical supervisor supporting other therapists.

Kate uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness. She adapts methods to suit each person, focusing on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. This helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and many life transitions.

Her work has included supporting people with bereavement through roles at Cruse and affiliation with Anxiety UK for anxiety-related concerns. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career and parenting strain. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, fertility and end-of-life issues.

Kate practises in the United Kingdom and offers guidance aimed at helping people move towards their goals. If someone is unsure where to begin, she emphasises small steps, clear options and collaborative planning to make progress feel manageable.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to break those cycles. It can help with low mood, worry and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a warm, non-judgemental relationship and supports people to make sense of their experience at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and day-to-day needs shape which methods are used and how sessions are run.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working from their usual setting, while the therapist and client decide together how best to structure sessions and follow-up between meetings.
