Kate Williams, BACP

Kate Williams is a person-centred counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She uses a calm, grounded manner to sit alongside difficult feelings and confusing thoughts. Her style is gentle and focused on what each person needs in the moment.

Kate qualified in the United Kingdom in 2022 and has three years of professional experience. During training she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity supporting people who self-harm and those with suicidal thoughts. That early work shaped how she approaches safety and intense emotions.

Her day-to-day approach is client-centred. That means she follows the person’s lead and offers empathic listening, open questions and steady presence. Sessions aim to help people make sense of upsetting experiences and feel more able to cope.

In practice she works through relationship and family-of-origin problems, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency and communication difficulties. She also supports people dealing with autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant or dependent personality patterns, eating-related issues and feelings of emptiness.

Kate offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She meets people in a straightforward way and helps them find the next practical step toward feeling better.

Person‑centred care online and choosing an approach

Kate works in a person-centred way that puts the client’s experience first. That approach focuses on empathic listening, reflecting what someone says and helping them feel understood. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and making sense of painful experiences.

Her practice emphasises accompanying people through difficult emotions rather than directing the conversation. The therapist offers calm, non-judgemental presence and helps clients explore feelings about attachment, abandonment, codependency and trauma at their own pace. This helps clients name what they are feeling and decide what to try next.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to the client’s needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. That conversation can begin in the first few meetings and change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or be easier when less bandwidth is available. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed reflection or shorter check-ins. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
