About Kate

Kate Clare is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also helps people manage parenting strains, anger, depression and ADHD. Kate has worked in the UK for five years and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She sees each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on what strengths they already have.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and down to earth. She listens without judgement and helps people name what feels hard right now. Kate has experience with neurodiversity both professionally and personally, and she uses that knowledge to adapt how she works with each person.

She is comfortable talking about attachment, abandonment, communication problems and control issues. She also supports people dealing with caregiving stress, chronic illness, or body image concerns. Her approach draws on familiar methods such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, narrative ideas and solution-focused steps.

Sessions tend to combine listening, simple tools and moments of reflection so people can try things between meetings. Signing up for therapy can feel daunting and Kate aims to make the first steps straightforward. She invites people to describe their priorities and then plans sessions around what they want to change or understand.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's pace; it helps when someone needs to be heard and understood and to build confidence in their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Narrative Therapy invites people to separate themselves from their problems and to rewrite the story they tell about difficult experiences, which can be helpful after loss or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and daily realities, and then suggest ways of working together. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online therapy fits into busy lives because it removes travel time and can make it easier to keep appointments around work or caring tasks. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full meeting is not needed, and they make it simpler to meet with a therapist from different parts of the UK without changing location.
