About Kate
Kate Wilson, NCPS, offers a warm, open counselling style that supports people through stressful and painful life moments. She combines talking therapy and hypnotherapy where helpful, and keeps things straightforward and compassionate. She is based in the United Kingdom and brings ten years of professional experience to her work.
Her background is in psychology with a BA (Hons) from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. Before training as a psychotherapist she worked as a research psychologist at LSE. She also provides clinical supervision to fellow therapists.
Kate has a breadth of work with anxiety and bereavement, including roles supporting people through grief and supervising bereavement services. She has researched self-esteem and confidence, and uses that knowledge in practical conversations about self-worth and everyday coping.
In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred methods, mindfulness and hypnotherapy. She adapts these approaches to the person in front of her and uses techniques that feel helpful in the moment.
People come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, relationship and family difficulties, life changes, addictions, grief, career pressures and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative – she listens, reflects and helps people identify small, doable steps towards their goals.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions because it focuses on what matters rather than trying to remove every difficult feeling.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to break unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems where changing routines and thought habits can help.
Hypnotherapy supports relaxation and focused attention, and can be used for issues like sleep, stress and confidence by helping people access different ways of responding to difficult moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that suit the situation, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people find what fits them best.
Check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to meet in person while exploring approaches like ACT, CBT or hypnotherapy.
