Kate Woodall, BACP, NCPS

Kate Woodall welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief or changing life circumstances. She speaks plainly and offers a calm presence so people can talk about what feels hard right now. Kate aims to make the first step easier and acknowledges it often takes courage to seek help.

She uses gentle, practical ways to help people manage day-to-day stress and difficult emotions. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person and on small, doable steps that build confidence and coping. Kate draws on her background supporting people with long-term health issues and bereavement work in a hospice setting.

Her approach includes listening closely, helping clients notice how feelings affect the body, and using mindful awareness to reduce overwhelm. Motivational techniques are used where clients want support to find or maintain momentum for change. Conversations are led by the client’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda.

Kate has six years of professional experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in the evenings and on some daytime hours to suit different schedules. Practical matters such as session length and format are arranged directly with each client.

People who value a warm, straightforward style and step-by-step support often find this approach helpful. Kate encourages open conversation about hopes and worries and helps people shape realistic steps toward feeling steadier.

How Kate’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following what matters most to the person. The counsellor reflects back what she hears and helps the client clarify goals and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce overwhelm and to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting carried away by them, which can help with stress and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose what feels most useful for the client’s goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjustments are made as progress and needs change.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when camera use is not preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy days, while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
