About Kate

Kate Lacy is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 25 years of experience and an NCPS credential. She aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable. She believes people bring knowledge and strengths from their lives that can be used to face stress, anxiety and relationship struggles.

Her work often focuses on trauma and abuse alongside everyday pressures such as low mood, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also helps with intimacy-related concerns, addictions, grief and caregiver stress. Practical issues like sleeping, eating and career worries are included in her practice as well. Kate uses several different ways of working to suit each person.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours in day-to-day life. Client-centred ways of working keep sessions focused on the person’s own priorities and pace.

Her manner is supportive and empowering rather than directive. Sessions aim to help people build skills, understand patterns and make changes they choose. She invites people to bring their goals and to shape the work together.

Kate conducts sessions online through video, phone, chat or text messaging. This lets people fit therapy around work and family life and choose the format that suits them best.

How different approaches work online

Kate uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect how people relate now; this helps with patterns in relationships, commitment worries and codependency. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems. Client-centred therapy keeps the work focused on the person’s own priorities and pace, offering space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together choose techniques that match what the client needs. This collaborative way makes it easier to adjust the plan as progress is made or new topics emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for conversations that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions are simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat and messaging let people write through thoughts, fit therapy around work breaks, or keep a written record of reflections. These options provide flexible ways to access therapy around daily life.
