About Kate
Kate Williams is a person centred counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing among other concerns. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Kate draws on a calm, steady presence to sit alongside people during hard moments and to help them find their own way forward.
She qualified in the United Kingdom in 2022 and has around three years of experience since starting clinical work. Before qualifying she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity supporting people who self-harm and those with suicidal thoughts. That early experience shaped how she responds to intense distress and crisis-related issues.
Kate uses a client-centred approach. Sessions are led by the person attending so the conversation follows what matters most to them. The counsellor’s role is to listen without judgement, reflect what is said and help people notice choices they might not have seen before.
Alongside the main concerns she regularly supports people with issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, codependency, commitment and control struggles, communication problems, caregiver stress, and eating and food-related concerns. She also works with people affected by family of origin problems and the impact of disasters.
Her style is straightforward and attentive. She aims to make sessions feel like a reliable space to talk things through, and to help people build clearer thinking and kinder self-relating over time.
How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person who comes to counselling. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and offers a steady, non-judgemental presence. This approach helps with stress, relationship problems, low self-esteem and trauma-related feelings by creating space for people to make sense of difficult experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, checking in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses. If a change in focus or method could help, it will be discussed together rather than imposed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family commitments. It can also allow a quieter, more comfortable setting at a chosen location and make shorter check-ins easier when needed. The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the practical format to suit a person's schedule and needs.
