About Kate

Kate Mollison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience. She has worked across the NHS, employee assistance programmes and private practice. She regularly supports people with anxiety, depression, stress and anger, among other concerns.

Her practice draws on several approaches rather than one single method. She uses Client-Centred techniques to build a trusting relationship and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to map thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Mindfulness and breathing exercises are offered to help with self-regulation.

Kate describes her work as integrated. She adapts methods to fit each person’s situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions often involve noticing unhelpful patterns and trying small, practical steps to change them.

She has experience helping people through trauma, grief and long-term health problems, and she also supports those facing career strain, relationship tensions and parenting stress. She has worked with people affected by addiction, bipolar disorder and ADHD, and with issues such as attachment, body image and carer stress.

Kate has worked in different countries and cultures, which informs how she hears each person's story. In sessions she combines listening with practical tools from CBT and solution-focused work. Her practice includes compassion-focused ideas to reduce harsh self-criticism and build kinder self-talk.

How her approaches translate to online work

Kate commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to try practical experiments that change day-to-day reactions. CBT can help with anger by breaking down triggers and testing new responses. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy, teaching simple breathing and awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and to steady attention.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best for the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a short CBT exercise one week and focusing on mindfulness the next to see what helps most.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of conversation, practical worksheets and short home exercises so the work can be integrated into daily life.
