About Kate

Kate Clare is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, anger, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with family conflict and the practical fallout of separation.

Her style is down-to-earth and person-centred. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and uses that as the starting point for practical work. Sessions focus on clear steps people can take to manage strong feelings, improve communication and reduce unhelpful patterns.

Kate draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and opens up different ways to see events.

She has experience of neurodiversity both professionally and personally, and brings that awareness into conversations about coping strategies and daily routine. She can help with issues linked to attachment, impulsivity, communication problems and caregiver stress.

Practical matters are straightforward. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book their first appointment using the See online therapy options button.

Approaches used in online sessions

Kate uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's own perspective and choices. This approach involves listening closely to what matters to the client and building practical steps from their strengths; it can help when someone feels misunderstood or stuck. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to practise alternatives. CBT tends to be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and impulsive reactions that feed anger. Finding the right approach is discussed together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape each session plan. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. When a phone call needs less bandwidth or a brief check-in works better, those practical choices can be useful alternatives to longer appointments.
