About Kate
Kate Neligan is a BACP-registered counsellor with 16 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She trained to master's level in integrative psychotherapy and has worked in private practice and within the NHS. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship problems and anger.
She uses an integrative approach that blends different therapies depending on what a person needs. That can include attachment-based ideas, psychodynamic thinking, client-centred ways of working and solution-focused techniques. Kate offers short-term and longer-term work and adjusts pace and focus as concerns change.
In sessions she takes a direct but collaborative style. She listens to the practical effects of anger and frustration, and helps people identify patterns that keep problems going. Conversations look at thoughts, feelings and past experiences that shape reactions, and include practical steps to manage strong emotions and strained interactions.
Kate also works with related areas such as sleep, eating, addiction, caregiving stress and self-esteem. She pays attention to how relationships and early attachment experiences influence current behaviour. The aim is to help people develop clearer choices about how they respond to triggers and conflicts.
Sessions are set up to match each person's aims and timing. International clients can be accepted, and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings. It helps people understand why certain situations trigger intense anger or fear and supports changes to relationship patterns.Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the centre. It involves attentive listening and reflecting the client's feelings, which can help when someone is learning to name and manage strong emotions like anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. The plan can change as things evolve, and decisions about pacing and focus are collaborative.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, and online meetings can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep therapy consistent with day-to-day life without needing travel.
