About Kate

Kate Williams is a person centred counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She works in a calm, grounded way and stays alongside people as they talk through hard feelings and experiences. Kate trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, having completed her qualification in 2022.

Before qualifying she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice. That placement was with a charity supporting people dealing with self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

Background and approach

Those early hours shaped how she responds to crisis and deep emotional distress. Her approach is client led. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week and follow their pace.

Kate listens without rushing and helps people name emotions, notice patterns, and make choices that fit their life. Conversations often cover attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems and family of origin difficulties. She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, eating and food-related concerns, and the emotional impact of disasters.

Therapy is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

Ways of working Kate names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

How Kate uses person centred work online

Kate predominantly uses a person centred approach, which means the therapist listens deeply and follows what the person brings. This method is useful for emotional concerns, trauma reactions and relationship troubles because it focuses on the person’s experience rather than imposing a plan.

Her background working with people who self-harm means she is practiced at staying calm during intense moments and supporting people through difficult feelings. The work is paced by the client and aims to help them feel heard, name emotions and consider different ways of responding to challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kate will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt how sessions run to fit those priorities. Decisions about how to work together are made jointly rather than prescribed.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can fit around busy days. These options help people access counselling from different places and at times that work for them.
