About Kate
Kate Clare is a BACP counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of parenting and family concerns. She also works with people managing self-esteem difficulties, anger, depression and ADHD. Kate is open about the importance of taking the first step towards help and aims to make that step feel manageable.
She uses a practical, person-focused approach. Conversations start with what matters to the client and build from there. Kate draws on gentle question‑based listening, reflection and collaborative planning so clients can try different ways of coping between sessions.
Kate blends several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive behavioural ideas can help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Narrative techniques look at how personal stories shape self-view and choices. Client-centred work keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities.
Her background includes more than five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and both professional and personal experience with neurodiversity. She describes clients as the experts of their own lives and focuses on strengths people already have when facing challenges.
Practical steps are a common part of sessions, such as small behavioural changes or new ways of talking about difficult memories. Kate encourages a steady pace and checks in on what’s working, so plans are changed if they do not fit day-to-day life.
To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they want to change and to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
How Kate uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening closely, reflecting back what is said and following the clients priorities so they feel heard and can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviours and feelings link together and uses small experiments and practical tools to change patterns that cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Together they will review what helps and adapt the plan if needed, so the process feels collaborative rather than fixed.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote conversations because they use straightforward exercises or discussion; the therapist will help decide what suits each persons needs and day-to-day routine.
