Kate Wolsey, NCPS

Kate Wolsey uses a person-centred way of working to help people feel heard and understood. She is a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and brings five years of practice to each session. Kate aims to create a straightforward, calm space where clients can talk about what matters to them at their own pace.

She often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. Relationship worries, bereavement and coping with life changes are common themes in her work. She also addresses concerns linked to trauma and abuse, intimacy, eating issues, parenting pressures and ADHD-related struggles.

Kate blends Client-Centred Therapy with psychodynamic and existential ideas. That means she focuses on the person in front of her, looks at patterns that repeat over time, and helps people consider meaning and choices in their lives. Sessions are guided by the client’s priorities and move at a pace that feels right to them.

People may come to her for help with anger, self-esteem, career decisions or family-of-origin problems. She also offers support around abandonment, attachment and commitment worries, blended family dynamics and the stress caregivers often face.

Kate accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients in English. Her aim is to help clients build practical coping strategies and clearer self-understanding so they can make valued changes in everyday life.

How Kate’s approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's present experience first and centres the conversation on what the person brings to the session; it helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental listener and practical support for everyday problems. Existential Therapy looks at choices, meaning and responsibility in life and can help people facing major transitions, grief or questions about purpose. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeated patterns, early relationships and unconscious influences, which can be useful for resolving long-standing relationship issues or attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match the client's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to make decisions about focus and pace together so the therapeutic plan reflects what the client wants to get from sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well when face-to-face conversation matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or if a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for people who prefer typing, want shorter check-ins, or who find written reflection easier. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life while keeping the therapeutic work consistent.
