About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kate) Bishop is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. Kate aims to create a calm and respectful space where people can talk through difficult moments.
She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client rather than a fixed checklist.
How Kathryn works
Her day-to-day work includes helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief, and heal from trauma and abuse. She also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and challenges tied to career or life transitions. There is additional attention to concerns such as attachment, abandonment, caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency and dissociation.
Kate draws on client-centred therapy to keep sessions grounded in the person’s experience. That means she listens first, follows the client’s lead, and helps people find their own solutions at a comfortable pace. Practical ideas and small steps are offered when they suit the client’s goals.
Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Kate uses a subscription model for sessions, and bookings are made by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Online support options
Client-centred support online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to make them feel heard and accepted. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the person explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach suits issues like stress, low self-esteem, grief and many relationship and identity concerns.Kate emphasises collaboration when choosing the best way forward. She will work with the client to identify goals, try approaches that feel right, and adjust the plan as needs and priorities change. Finding the right fit is part of the process and happens together over a few sessions.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful when non-verbal cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit into busy days. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel without needing to attend in person.
