About Kate

Kate Neligan is a counsellor with 16 years of practice experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in the United Kingdom and offers online sessions in English for people facing a wide range of concerns. Her approach aims to be warm, respectful and collaborative.

She trained at postgraduate level and has worked both in independent practice and in NHS settings. That breadth of experience means she has supported people through anxiety, depression, bereavement and trauma, plus issues around relationships, sexuality and neurodiversity.

Background and approach

She also helps with stress, addiction and changes such as separation or career shifts. Sessions are shaped around the individual. Kate draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that affect current life.

She also uses client-centred listening to put the persons priorities first and solution-focused methods to set practical steps where helpful. Her style is described as empathic and collaborative. She offers both short-term focused work and longer-term exploration depending on what a person wants.

The emphasis is on tailoring sessions to each persons needs, pace and goals. Practical arrangements are explained at the start. Kate can work with a range of concerns such as parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and compassion fatigue.

She also accepts international clients and runs sessions in several online formats.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Kate uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses; this can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns and patterns that repeat in relationships. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences influence present behaviour and feelings, which can be useful for grief, trauma and longstanding patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean starting with short-term solution-focused steps and then moving to deeper exploration if that feels helpful.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people see facial expressions and build rapport, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter background is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or a way to write through thoughts between sessions. These options aim to offer flexible and accessible routes to regular support with a registered professional.
