About Kate
Kate Wolsey is a counsellor and a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She uses a person-centred style that puts the client at the heart of the work and values pacing the sessions to what feels comfortable. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about loss, anxiety, stress and other concerns.
Her background blends client-centred therapy with psychodynamic and existential approaches. That mix helps her look at how past experiences shape current feelings, and how meaning and choice matter now.
How Kate works
She draws on these ideas when people bring issues such as bereavement, depression, relationship stress and parenting strain. Many people come with worries about self-esteem, anger, eating and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD-related concerns, career pressure and coping with life changes.
Additional areas she focuses on include attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Kate has five years of professional experience and carries the NCPS credential noted above.
She aims to make the work practical and relevant to everyday life. Her way of working is collaborative. She helps people understand patterns, try new responses and find clearer ways to move forward.
If someone wants a steady, listening approach that also examines meaning and history, she may be a good fit.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and on building understanding through empathic listening. Online sessions using this approach mean the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what they hear and helps the person set the pace and topics for each meeting.Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships. In online sessions the counsellor and client can gradually notice recurring themes and make connections between earlier events and today's reactions, which can help with issues like attachment, abandonment and relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean leaning more on client-centred listening at first, then bringing in psychodynamic or existential ideas as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for richer face-to-face interaction, phone works well if bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while still accessing registered or accredited professionals and their expertise.
