Kate Fletcher, BACP, NCPS

Kate Fletcher helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy worries, and the emotional fallout of trauma or abuse. She also supports those dealing with body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges and career or life changes. Kate is based in the United Kingdom and has five years' professional experience. She is accredited with BACP and NCPS and offers practical, down-to-earth support.

Her style is warm and respectful. She listens first and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, whether that is managing panic, working through loss, or rebuilding trust after difficult events.

Kate uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment work, client-centred conversations and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix helps people understand patterns, try new ways of relating, and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She aims to make therapeutic ideas simple and usable in everyday life.

People can expect clear goals and gentle challenge when it is useful. Kate can help with specific problems like eating and sleeping difficulties, and broader issues such as isolation, guilt or problems with communication. Her sessions are practical and supportive, with an emphasis on small steps that add up to real change.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, and works with international clients in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions once matched.

Approaches to attachment, talking therapy and practical change

Kate draws on attachment-based approaches that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand why they react strongly in relationships and how to build safer ways of relating. She also uses client-centred therapy, which means conversations are guided by the person's experience and paced to their needs; the counsellor follows and reflects rather than imposing solutions.

Kate also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and behaviour-related issues. Choosing the right approach is part of the work - Kate will discuss options and together they will decide what fits with the person's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
