About Kate

Kate Woodall helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or loss. She speaks plainly and offers steady support for those trying to rebuild confidence, find motivation, or cope with major life changes. She has six years of professional experience working with people who face both physical health and mental health challenges.

That includes time spent providing bereavement counselling at a UK hospice, where she supported people through grief and loss.

How Kate works

Her sessions aim to be warm and non-judgemental. She creates space for people to talk about difficult feelings and to work out what matters most to them. The goal is practical - to help people find small changes that make day-to-day life easier.

Kate draws on client-centred ways of working, alongside mindfulness and motivational conversations. She also uses somatic techniques that help people notice how stress shows up in the body and respond in kinder ways. Sessions are offered in English and held online by phone, video, live chat or text messaging.

The booking process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to the therapist's available times. Kate encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready. Her manner is straightforward and compassionate, focused on helping people move forward at a pace that suits them.

Online support options

Approaches that suit online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's pace. It helps when someone needs understanding and space to sort through their thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm; it can be useful for stress, anxiety and ongoing worry. Motivational interviewing is a conversational way to explore what matters and boost a person's own reasons for change; it supports people feeling stuck or low on motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods feel helpful and adapt them to the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process designed to match techniques to what the client wants to achieve and how they respond in sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, day-to-day support and people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
