Kate Mollison

Kate Mollison is a counsellor with over 24 years' experience in the UK. She holds BACP accreditation and has worked across NHS services, employee assistance programmes and private practice. Kate helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and issues around illness and life change.

She adopts an integrated approach rather than one fixed method. That means she draws on person-centred work to build a respectful therapeutic relationship. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to give practical tools and a clearer vocabulary for difficult thoughts and feelings.

Mindfulness and breathing techniques feature in sessions to help with emotional regulation and easing stress. Compassion-focused ideas are used when people are self-critical, supporting them to develop kinder self-talk. Solution-focused elements help to set short-term, achievable goals when that fits a person's needs.

Kate has worked in varied settings including employee assistance programmes and the NHS, and she brings that experience to her current practice in the United Kingdom. She is open and curious about different cultures, having lived and worked abroad, and keeps learning through courses and professional reading.

Sessions aim to recognise each person as unique. Conversations tend to be practical and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on noticing unhelpful patterns and trying small changes. People who value a collaborative, adaptable style may find this a good fit.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centred work focuses on building a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they explore what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives practical tools and a clear way to notice and change thought and behaviour patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Kate will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-based, practical, and mindfulness strategies rather than sticking to one single model.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday or help people attend when leaving the house is difficult. Different approaches adapt well to remote sessions: CBT can be used to set homework and worksheets, mindfulness practices can be led over a call, and person-centred conversations often work well across distance. Discussing practical arrangements with Kate will help match the approach and session style to everyday needs.
