Kate Wilson, BACP

Kate Wilson offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and other hard moments. She uses short, straightforward conversations to help clients spot patterns, build coping strategies and steady day-to-day life. Kate presents a warm, respectful approach aimed at making change feel possible rather than overwhelming.

She has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. Kate links past experiences with present behaviours to help people understand where problems come from and what helps now. She focuses on practical skills to manage panic, low mood, sleeplessness and relationship difficulties.

Her work is rooted in person-centred practice while also drawing on cognitive behavioural ideas and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. Attachment-based thinking is used when past relationships affect present feelings and choices. Sessions often include simple exercises and small experiments to try between meetings.

Kate has experience supporting people after trauma and abuse, and she includes grief work for those living with loss. She also helps people facing life changes, career questions, parenting strain, or struggles linked to ADHD, addiction and low self-esteem. The tone of sessions is collaborative and practical.

Expect a tailored plan that focuses on what will fit into daily life. Kate aims to help people develop doable tools for managing emotions, improving sleep and rebuilding confidence. She supports each person to take steady steps toward clearer goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them, and then focus on practical steps that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or repeating old patterns. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own pace and perspective, offering a supportive space where the client leads the topics and the counsellor reflects and clarifies.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. Kate will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and daily life to pick methods that fit. She combines ideas from these approaches and adjusts plans as progress is made, so therapy becomes a collaborative process rather than a fixed program.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls let people read facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into real life.
