About Kate

Kate Jarvis works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. She offers calm, non-judgemental sessions where people can talk through what matters most to them. Kate explains things plainly and focuses on the practical next steps a person can try between sessions.

Kate has four years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. She draws on a client-centred way of working that places the person's own goals at the centre of each session.

02

How Kate works

That means the conversation follows what matters to the individual rather than a fixed checklist. In practice Kate helps people manage grief, low self-esteem and life transitions. She also supports those coping with addictions, sleep problems, anger and ongoing stress.

Additional areas she addresses include attachment or abandonment concerns, communication problems, chronic illness and issues connected to parenting and career change. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Kate listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people spot strengths they already have.

Together they set small, achievable steps to try between appointments and review what works over time. Kate offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Her work is suited to someone who wants a respectful, down-to-earth counsellor who will follow their lead while offering steady practical support.

Online support options

Client-centred care and online access

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what they hear so the person feels understood. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, relationship worries and stress by following what the person wants to work on.

In practice the counsellor supports people to notice their strengths and choose the next steps that feel right for them. That makes the work collaborative - the person sets goals and the counsellor helps shape ways to reach them and reviews progress together.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins and text messaging allows more flexible, ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, and they let people try different formats to see what fits best.
