About Kate

Kate Mollison is a counsellor with more than two decades of experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has worked across NHS services, employee assistance programmes and independent practice. Kate focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and life changes.

Her style is conversational and warm. She values an open, non-judgemental relationship and prefers to tailor sessions to each person.

Background and approach

Conversations are used to spot patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to try small, realistic changes that make everyday life easier. Kate combines different approaches rather than relying on one single method. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for practical tools and a clear framework.

She uses mindfulness and breathing practices to help people calm their nervous system and manage difficult moments. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit for people affected by past harm or abuse. She also works in a client-centred way that places the person’s experience at the heart of the work.

Compassion-focused ideas are used when self-criticism and shame get in the way of recovery. Her background includes employee assistance work and NHS-based CBT, and she continues to study and learn new approaches. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns from relationship and intimacy issues to addictions, grief, career stress, ADHD and parenting strain.

Kate offers online contact options to people in the UK and aims to make therapy practical, understandable and tailored to each person’s needs.

Ways of working Kate names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Kate often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy, which focuses on understanding and easing the impact of past harm. This approach helps when memories or reactions from earlier experiences make daily life difficult. It involves gentle, paced work to reduce distress and improve coping.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which gives clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing panic by teaching practical skills and a simple framework to follow. Client-centred practice is another core element, placing the person's experience and goals at the centre and shaping sessions around what they need.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful, adjusting methods as the work progresses. Clients help set goals and priorities so the plan stays relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is good for full conversations and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
