About Kate

Kate Wolsey is an integrative counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their thoughts and everyday habits. Her style puts the person at the centre of the work and moves at a pace that feels right for each individual.

With five years of practice, Kate has helped people facing anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, eating concerns, and challenges such as anger, self-esteem and career stress. ADHD and intimacy-related issues are also within her areas of focus.

Kate blends client-centred work with psychodynamic and existential approaches. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour. The goal is to help people find clearer choices and practical steps they can try between meetings.

People often come to Kate for help with major life changes, grief, or recurring relationship problems. She also works with issues linked to family background, abandonment and attachment concerns, and pressures faced by caregivers and first responders. Her background supports longer threads of personal history as well as immediate practical coping.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How Kate’s approaches shape online work

Kate draws on client-centred work, psychodynamic ideas and existential thinking to structure sessions in a clear, down-to-earth way. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person and their immediate concerns, helping people feel heard and able to steer the work. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences influence current thoughts and habits; this can help when difficulties keep reappearing. Existential therapy helps people face life changes and questions of meaning while making practical choices that match their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to discover what fits each person's needs and goals. Conversations in early sessions help decide whether to emphasise listening and present-focused support, explore deeper life patterns, or focus on values and practical decisions.

The original profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when days are hectic. Others prefer longer sessions to work through deeper issues. The emphasis is on making therapy workable within everyday life rather than promising a specific format.
