About Kate

Kate Wolsey is a counsellor who places the client at the heart of the work. She holds NCPS (National Counselling Society) registration and brings five years of practice helping people through loss, relationship strain and anxiety. Her tone in sessions is calm and non-judgemental so clients can speak freely about what matters most to them.

She uses a person-centred way of working as her main approach. That means sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what the client brings each week. Kate also weaves in psychodynamic ideas to help people notice repeating patterns from the past.

Existential ideas are part of her practice too, especially when people are facing big life questions or major changes. Those techniques help clients look at meaning, responsibility and choice without pressure or fixed answers. Kate often helps people who are coping with bereavement and loss to find their own path forward.

She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, depression, trauma and intimacy-related problems. Additional areas she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges and first responder stress. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Kate describes therapy as a collaborative process. She invites people to take small steps towards clearer thinking and steadier mood. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions via the platform.

How Kate’s approaches translate to online counselling

Kate works mainly from a person-centred perspective, which means sessions focus on the client's priorities and move at a comfortable pace. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship worries and everyday stress because it lets people guide the conversation. Psychodynamic ideas help people notice repeating patterns and where earlier experiences affect current relationships, which can be useful for attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues.

Existential elements in her work invite clients to consider meaning, choice and responsibility during times of major life change. That can help when coping with bereavement, career shifts or questions about intimacy and commitment. Together these approaches give both practical listening and space to reflect on deeper patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. This usually happens in the early sessions and can be reviewed as things change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to attend regularly. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or quieter, focused conversations when that suits the person's day. Confirm current session options with the therapist before booking so you know how sessions are arranged.
