Kate Williams , BACP

Kate Williams is a person centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on women's issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Kate uses a calm, grounded manner to help people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.

Her approach is client-centred, which means sessions follow what the person brings. Kate listens without judgement and helps people name difficult feelings and thoughts. She aims to create a steady space where people can explore painful memories, patterns and fears at their own pace.

Kate trained in the UK and completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice as part of her course. That placement was with a charity supporting people who self-harm or have suicidal thoughts. She has worked professionally for three years since qualification.

In a session she helps people make sense of family-of-origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, codependency and communication difficulties. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, eating and food-related concerns, and the emotional impact of disasters.

People who choose Kate can expect straightforward language and practical focus. Conversations explore what is happening now and how past experiences shape current reactions. The pace and direction are decided together so each person sets their own goals.

Person centred therapy online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves active listening, reflection and a non-judgemental stance so the individual feels heard. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem and processing difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions together. That collaborative process helps identify whether person centred methods suit the person or if other ways of working are needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Messaging and live chat allow flexible, written exchanges and can fit around busy days. These formats aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on the person's priorities.
