Kate Anderson , BACP

Kate Anderson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, low mood, anxiety and relationship strain. She works with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about the next step. Kate offers a calm and caring space to talk things through at a pace that suits each person.

She draws on several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to fit the individual. That means the work might focus on understanding how early relationships still affect current feelings and choices. Kate often helps people recognise patterns that leave them putting others first or avoiding asking for support.

Some sessions concentrate on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In those moments she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build clearer responses to difficult emotions. Mindfulness exercises are used to notice experience with less judgment and to create room for different choices.

Kate also explores values, strengths and what gives life meaning. This can include looking at boundaries, assertiveness, attachment patterns and issues around commitment or trust. The aim is to help people act in ways that match their values and feel more in control of their decisions.

She has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without being led by them and clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help when someone feels stuck or uncertain about life direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and helps people develop new ways to connect and ask for support. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping the person find their own answers through a non-judgemental dialogue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan as you go. This collaborative approach means therapy can include both deeper exploration and practical exercises depending on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
