About Kate
Kate Wilson uses a blend of talking therapy and hypnotherapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She presents as warm and open and focuses on practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. Kate holds NCPS as a credential and works from the United Kingdom.
Her training includes a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics.
How Kate works
Before qualifying as a psychotherapist she worked as a research psychologist at the London School of Economics. She also provides clinical supervision to other therapists. Kate draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness, and she offers hypnotherapy privately.
She uses these methods in a flexible way, choosing whatever helps an individual at that moment. Sessions commonly focus on identifying small changes and building coping skills. People bring many concerns to sessions, such as bereavement, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, career worries, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, and coping with life changes.
She has experience supporting bereavement work and has worked with Cruse as a support worker and supervisor, and she is an affiliate for Anxiety UK. In practical terms Kate aims to provide a steady, non-judgemental space to talk things through. She helps people set realistic goals and practices tools together in session so they can try them between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

Online support options
Online therapy using practical approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports choosing actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating a non-judgemental space so the person can find their own solutions; it suits people who need a steady, supportive place to talk. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and techniques can be adjusted as things change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow a fuller conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit short check-ins or daily support. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still using evidence-informed approaches with registered or accredited professionals.
