Kate Wilson , NCPS

Kate Wilson is a psychotherapist and counsellor with ten years of experience. She holds NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom. Her approach is warm and open, and she aims to help people who feel stuck by listening without judgement and offering practical ways forward.

Kate trained in psychology, including a BA (Hons) from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. She has worked as a research psychologist and has experience supporting people affected by anxiety and bereavement. She also offers hypnotherapy as part of her work.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related problems, career questions, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, and problems linked to attachment and abandonment.

Kate uses a pluralistic method, combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy and mindfulness approaches as appropriate. She adapts methods to suit the person in front of her, focusing on what will be useful now rather than sticking to a single model.

She has worked with bereavement services and is an affiliate for Anxiety UK, which informs her practical focus on supporting people through loss and worry. Her style includes gentle challenge alongside practical tools to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.

People who choose Kate often want a straightforward, compassionate counsellor who pays attention to both feelings and daily life. She supports people through life changes, offers coaching-style goal work when helpful, and provides supervision to other therapists.

Online approaches that focus on values and practical change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most to them, then taking small steps towards those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and major life changes by shifting focus from avoiding feelings to building a meaningful life.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on an accepting, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topic of sessions. This approach often helps people feel heard and understood, which supports work on confidence, grief and self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and many day-to-day difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before to choose or blend methods. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments.
