Kate Wolsey , NCPS

Kate Wolsey is a counsellor who works from a person-centred stance. She is registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and draws on five years of practice to help people facing loss, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship strain.

Her sessions offer a calm, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and topic of conversation. She encourages people to bring the issues that matter most to them, whether that is grief, depression, or day-to-day stressors.

Kate blends client-centred work with psychodynamic and existential ideas. This combination allows time to look at current feelings and patterns, and to think about deeper life questions and personal meaning. She uses simple, conversational language in sessions and focuses on what someone wants to change.

Her background includes supporting people through bereavement and loss alongside a broader range of concerns such as trauma, parenting strain, eating matters, ADHD-related challenges, and anger. Practical coping and emotional exploration often sit side by side in her sessions.

Kate works with people who are navigating major life changes, relationship difficulties, or setbacks at work. She aims to help people feel more able to make choices that fit their values and daily lives. If someone wants a thoughtful, steady counsellor who listens closely, she creates room for that work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says, placing the person at the heart of the work. It helps with building self-trust and tackling everyday struggles like anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeating patterns and past influences that shape current feelings and relationships. It can help when people want to understand why they keep having the same difficulties or emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may evolve as therapy continues.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer, more involved session is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful if someone needs a shorter check-in or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write, want brief check-ins, or need support outside standard hours. Registered and accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
