About Kate
Kate Emery works using a client-centred style that puts the person and their experience at the centre of each session. She believes people know their own stories and brings a steady, respectful presence to help them uncover strengths and make changes. Sessions are calm and person-focused, with the client guiding the pace and topics.
She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, or BACP.
How Kate works
That background has included supporting people who face stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and motivation, and difficulties with confidence. She also supports those dealing with addictions, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Kate works with wider life challenges too, including career shifts, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and coping with major life changes. Additional areas she has experience in include adoption and foster care matters, attachment issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and separation or divorce. She also addresses domestic violence, family of origin issues, fatherhood matters, immigration-related stresses and midlife transitions.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Clients can expect reflective listening and questions that help them clarify goals. Practical steps and small experiments may be used alongside open conversation to test new ways of coping.
Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged in ways that suit the client. Kate helps people take the practical steps needed to move forward, at a pace that feels manageable.

Online support options
Client-centred care delivered online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead to help them find their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns because it focuses on understanding the person’s experience.The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to identify which way of working feels most helpful. Together they will discuss goals, try different approaches in sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process and happens through open conversation and short trials of different techniques.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face style conversation when catching non-verbal cues matters. Phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, paced reflection, or flexible contact across a day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and travel.
