About Kate

Kate Clare is a counsellor with five years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, depression, ADHD and parenting pressures. She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem and problems linked to intellectual disability. Kate emphasises that clients are the experts on their own lives and she values each person's strengths.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. She draws on person-centred ways of working to listen and follow what matters to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when practical steps and patterns of thinking need addressing. Narrative ideas help people untangle stories they tell themselves and try new meanings.

Kate has professional experience with neurodiversity, both in her work and personally. That background informs how she adapts sessions and explains options. She aims to make therapy feel manageable, clear and relevant to everyday life.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs. Kate invites clients to set goals and review progress so work stays focused and useful. She encourages parents and carers to talk about the strain of caring and to find realistic ways to cope.

Kate is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. She sees people in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Step 3

How different approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so clients can explore feelings and decide what changes to try. This is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship stresses.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, worry and some aspects of ADHD management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and life demands and recommend where to start. Plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed, so the method can change if something else seems a better fit.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives. It can make it easier to book around work, childcare or healthcare appointments and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact options before booking so they match your needs. Registered or accredited professionals can then help you decide how to use sessions most effectively in day-to-day life.
