Kate Wilson, NCPS

Kate Wilson is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years' experience supporting people through difficult life events. She works in a warm, open style and offers hypnotherapy as part of her private practice. Kate holds NCPS as a credential and is based in the United Kingdom.

Her background is in psychology, with a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. Before training as a therapist she worked as a research psychologist and later moved into roles supporting bereavement services and anxiety provision. She also supervises other clinicians.

In sessions she combines different approaches to suit each person. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, client-centred work, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy to address worries and goals. This means practical strategies and space to talk are both part of the process.

Kate helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, anger and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing fertility, cancer, hospice and end-of-life related worries, and other family and communication problems.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. Kate listens, helps you clarify what matters most, and works alongside you to try different ways of responding. To begin, follow the site's Start Therapy steps and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, practical steps towards them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers tools to test and change unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy creates a space where the person is listened to without judgement, which can help with self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss options with each person and try different techniques to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process guided by individual goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep working on progress between appointments using the approaches above, including mindfulness exercises, CBT strategies and guided hypnotherapy where appropriate.
