Kate Reeve, BACP

Kate Reeve is a counsellor who helps people struggling with anxiety, stress, depression and the fallout from trauma. She also supports those facing grief, low self-esteem, addiction and problems with sleep or eating. Kate works with people dealing with relationship and parenting strains, career changes, and the everyday challenges of caring for others.

She uses an integrative style that draws on several well-known approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps and simple skills people can use between meetings. Conversations aim to uncover what gets in the way of a person using their strengths and talents. Kate encourages small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming goals.

Her practice pays attention to attachment patterns and emotional reactions, helping people understand how past relationships shape present choices. Cognitive techniques are used when helpful to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are brought in to help people live according to their values while tolerating difficult feelings.

Kate has nine years of experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people affected by domestic violence and those who are neurodivergent. Her approach aims to be respectful of each person's background and pace.

Sessions are delivered in English and Polish. The focus is on building steady, realistic progress so people can feel more fulfilled and in charge of their day-to-day lives.

How certain approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, and helps people recognise and change unhelpful ways of relating. This approach can support people working through abandonment, attachment issues and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor follows, which can help with self-esteem and building trust in the therapeutic process.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore a person's needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as new things come up in sessions.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can save travel time, allow shorter check-in meetings, or make scheduling across different time zones simpler. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them maintain continuity during periods of change while still working on thoughts, habits and relationships.
