Kata Soos, NCPS

Kata uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sessions about the person's own concerns. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers. It can be helpful for building trust and for working through feelings about family, relationships and self-worth.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood or impulsive reactions. It is useful for problems like sleep difficulties, eating concerns and coping with stressful life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kata will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will tailor sessions accordingly. The plan is set together so the methods match what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and to keep progress moving between appointments.
