About Kate

Kate Wilson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and anger. She also supports people facing life changes, relationship difficulties and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical coping strategies. Sessions focus on linking past experiences to present reactions so people can better understand why they get so angry or wound up. She helps clients learn ways to keep calm and manage everyday triggers.

Her approach is person-centred while also drawing on cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy. That means sessions mix listening and reflection with practical skills-building. Clients can expect exercises that aim to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve emotional regulation.

Kate has worked with trauma, abuse and related post-traumatic stress presentations. She combines attachment-based ideas with creative ways of working with emotions to make sense of relational patterns that feed into anger and resentment.

In sessions she and the client build clear, usable strategies for day-to-day life. The focus is on small, repeatable steps - breathing and grounding tools, communication practice, and routines that support better sleep and mood. People leave with concrete techniques to practise between sessions.

She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online options button.

How Kate uses practical therapies online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting dominated by them. It focuses on values and small actions you can take even when emotions are strong, which can suit anger that keeps coming back. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and builds step-by-step exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and reactions. That is useful for situations such as workplace frustration or rehearsed patterns of blame.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate collaborates with each person to test what helps most. She draws on different methods and tailors sessions based on your goals, what you find practical, and how you respond to early exercises.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, appointments during a lunch break, or not needing travel time. They also allow focused skills practice at home and steady follow-up of breathing, grounding and communication techniques between meetings.
