About Kate

Kate Neligan is a counsellor with 16 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Kate has worked in both independent practice and the NHS, and she supports people with a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

She takes a calm, empathic approach and works collaboratively with each person. Sessions are tailored to what the individual needs, whether that means a short focused plan or longer-term therapy.

Background and approach

She combines humanistic listening with psychodynamic thinking and practical techniques when useful. People come to her for relationship concerns, parenting stress, addiction and issues around intimacy or self-esteem. She also helps with sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, career questions and compassion fatigue.

She aims to make things straightforward and manageable in session. Kate uses an integrative method that draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas alongside solution-focused techniques. This means she looks at how past patterns affect current life and also helps people set practical goals.

Work is shaped around what the person wants to change. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand closeness, trust and fear of abandonment and brings insight into relationship struggles or attachment issues.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist offers empathic listening and support while the client sets the pace and direction, which suits people wanting a respectful, non-directive space to talk.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and feelings that come from past experiences. It can help when unhelpful cycles keep repeating, such as in relationships, self-esteem or responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. That choice is made collaboratively and may change as sessions progress.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing or need brief, flexible contact. These options increase accessibility and help maintain continuity across busy schedules.
