About Kate
Kate Mollison is a counsellor with 24 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She trained and practised across varied settings, including employee assistance programmes and the NHS, and now works in private practice in Glasgow. Kate uses an integrated style that adapts to each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
She focuses on understanding the patterns people get stuck in - thoughts, feelings and habits that make life harder. Sessions often involve talking through recent difficulties, noticing unhelpful thought patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps. Breathing and mindfulness practices are used to manage intense feelings in the moment.
Kate draws on client-centred work to build a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy gives a clear framework and practical tools when needed. Solution-focused ideas help set achievable goals and track progress.
Her background includes many years supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement and long-term illness. She also has experience with work-related stress, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship issues and challenges linked to neurodiversity and attachment.
Kate keeps learning through courses and reading, and she brings that curiosity into sessions. She describes therapy as a collaborative process - exploring what gets in the way and trying out alternatives together. If someone is unsure what to expect, she encourages a first conversation to see if her way of working feels right.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful relationship and being non-judgemental; it helps when someone needs a space to be heard and understood before trying practical techniques. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives a clear way to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behaviour changes; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then suggest techniques to try and review how they land. That shared process means approaches can be adapted as things unfold.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are offered before booking as the biography does not list specific session types. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client's schedule. It can also let people practise mindfulness or grounding techniques in the moments they need them, and makes it straightforward to use worksheets or guided exercises between meetings.
