About Kate

Kate Neligan is a counsellor with 16 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Kate has practised in both private and NHS settings and sees people for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues and problems with sleep.

Kate offers a straightforward and compassionate style. She aims for a collaborative relationship where people feel heard and respected. Sessions can be short-term or longer-term depending on what someone needs.

Her background is integrative, drawing on different approaches to suit each person. That means sessions may include psychodynamic conversation, client-centred listening and practical, solution-focused steps when helpful.

In work with trauma, addiction or difficult life changes, Kate focuses on building understanding first. She helps people clarify what matters to them and develop manageable steps to cope day to day.

Practical matters such as session length, frequency and cost are arranged through the service booking flow. International clients may be supported and sessions are conducted in English. People are invited to use the site's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.

How key approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape feelings and patterns now. In conversation the therapist helps people notice recurring relationship habits and explores new ways of connecting that feel safer and more manageable. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps people make sense of their feelings so they can decide what to try next. Psychodynamic work pays attention to long-standing patterns and what might be happening beneath the surface. It can help with issues such as repeating relationship problems, unresolved grief or persistent low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and shape sessions together based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps choose whether to focus on short practical goals or deeper exploration. For practicalities, the original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow regular, focused check-ins. They also let people choose quieter times or shorter appointments when that helps maintain momentum.
