Kate Wilson, NCPS

Kate Wilson offers a warm, practical approach to therapy. She draws on person-focused listening and a mix of therapeutic methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making conversations easy to follow and useful from the first session.

She trained in psychology and moved into psychotherapy after working as a research psychologist. Kate holds the NCPS credential and has around ten years' experience supporting people through life changes, bereavement and anxiety. She has also provided supervision for other therapists and worked with organisations connected to bereavement care.

In sessions she adapts her approach to what helps most in the moment. That can include techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside client-centred ways of listening. She also offers hypnotherapy when that is suitable for a person's goals.

Kate works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and coping with major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with body image, fertility and end-of-life questions, and offers practical help for sleep and eating problems.

Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the individual and to build straightforward steps towards change. People can expect calm, focused conversations that balance reflection with practical tools. Kate encourages realistic progress at a pace that suits each person.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online care

Kate commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps forward. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT often includes practical exercises and homework to try between sessions and can be used for anxiety, sleep and mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then tailor methods from ACT, CBT or client-centred listening to fit the person. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Kate can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
