About Kate
Kate Williams is a person-centred counsellor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She works in a calm and grounded way and aims to support people through difficult feelings and thoughts. Kate trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation.
Kate uses a client-led approach where the person sets the pace and priorities. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is processing painful events or managing day-to-day stress.
How Kate works
She listens closely and reflects what she hears to help people find clearer thinking and stronger emotional footing. Before qualifying in 2022, Kate completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice. That placement was with a charity working with people who had self-harming behaviours and suicidal thoughts.
This early experience shaped her calm, attentive style. In practical terms sessions are a space to talk, name feelings, and try out different ways of understanding problems. Kate aims to make each session feel steady rather than rushed, helping people take small steps forward.
People who come to her often want help with attachment or abandonment worries, communication and commitment issues, caregiver stress, or eating and food-related struggles. She also supports those affected by family of origin problems, codependency and feelings of emptiness. Kate offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients.
Work focuses on the individual’s experience and goals, with the counsellor providing consistent listening and gentle direction.

Online support options
Person-centred support and online therapy options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s agenda. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can explore feelings, make sense of difficult experiences, and find their own solutions. This approach is especially useful for dealing with trauma, relationship wounds, low self-esteem and persistent anxiety.Kate’s client-led style means she will work with people to identify what approach fits best for them. That choice is collaborative - she will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions as understanding grows.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction across distance and are useful for deeper conversations. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are flexible for people who want to reflect in writing or fit therapy around a busy day. Together these formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, manage care around work or family commitments, and choose the pace and style that feels most manageable.
