About Kate

Kate Wolsey is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and anger. Sessions focus on what the client brings and move at the client’s own pace.

Kate works integratively, drawing mainly on Person-centred therapy alongside psychodynamic and existential ideas. Person-centred work keeps the client’s experience central, with the counsellor following the client’s lead and helping them talk through what matters most. Psychodynamic thinking looks at patterns that have developed over time and how past relationships shape present reactions.

Existential ideas help people reflect on meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain. Together these approaches are used to address issues such as bereavement and loss, intimacy-related concerns, parenting pressures, career stress, and ADHD-related challenges. Kate also addresses attachment and abandonment questions that can underlie relationship problems.

Sessions are conversational and aim to help people notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and build clearer understanding of difficult feelings. Practical coping strategies may be discussed alongside deeper reflection when helpful. The work is paced to the individual and directed by what they find useful in the moment.

People usually begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Kate accepts clients from the UK and internationally and works in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred work focuses on what matters to the client in the moment. Online sessions follow the client’s pace and let them bring the issues they want to address. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and past relationships that shape current responses; online conversations can be used to notice and discuss those patterns. Existential themes encourage reflection about meaning, choice and responsibility when facing big life changes or persistent frustration.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process. The counsellor and client will discuss which combination of methods suits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision and can be reviewed as the work progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a work break. Some formats are better for quieter, longer conversations while others work well for brief updates or when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the flow of sessions to practical needs without changing the therapeutic intent.
