About Kate
Kate Wilson is a counsellor who focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She uses a warm, open style and offers hypnotherapy privately alongside talking therapies. Kate holds NCPS as a listed credential and works from the United Kingdom.
She studied psychology, taking a BA (Hons) at the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology at the London School of Economics. Before professional training in psychotherapy she worked as a research psychologist at LSE. That research background shapes a careful, evidence-aware approach in sessions.
Kate has ten years' experience and has supported people with grief through roles at Cruse, including work and supervisory duties. Anxiety is a key area of focus and she is an affiliate for Anxiety UK. She also pays particular attention to confidence and self-esteem, which was the topic of her master's dissertation.
Her practice is pluralistic, drawing on a range of techniques so the approach can be tailored to each person. That can mean using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, cognitive-behavioural tools, mindfulness or elements of client-centred work as needed. Hypnotherapy is available as a private option when appropriate.
People come for many concerns such as depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, difficulties with sleeping and eating, career stress, parenting strain, bereavement, addiction and chronic illness challenges. Sessions aim to be practical, down to earth and focused on building manageable habits and clearer thinking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to respond rather than get stuck in unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and then practising small changes. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and everyday habits. Client-Centred Therapy centres on a supportive, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects; this can help when people need to regain confidence or talk through difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try different techniques together based on your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-ups or shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue support when facing health or mobility challenges. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can adapt exercises, mindful practices and CBT tasks to work over distance so the practical focus on thoughts and everyday habits carries across to online work.
