About Kate
Kate Mollison is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked in many settings, including employee assistance programmes and the NHS, and now offers a independent practice approach built around practical support and respect for each person. She focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression.
Her work avoids a single method for everyone. She draws on client-centred principles to build a trusting relationship and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to offer tools and a shared vocabulary for tricky situations.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques and breathing exercises are used to help with emotional regulation and moments of overwhelm. Kate also brings solution-focused ideas to short-term goals and trauma-focused approaches when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day life. She aims to gently spot recurring patterns of thought and behaviour that limit a person’s options, and then to try alternatives together.
People come to her for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, addiction, parenting strain, work stress, bipolar challenges and eating or sleeping problems. She also addresses concerns linked to attachment, caregiving stress, ageing, autism and bereavement. Sessions are rooted in compassion and practicality.
Kate keeps learning through courses and reading, so her work evolves with new ideas that might help clients. She welcomes straightforward conversations about what someone needs and what might work for them.

Online support
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, gives practical tools and a clear framework for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and offers techniques to try between sessions.
Mindfulness methods teach simple breathing and paying-attention exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve concentration. These techniques can help with sleep, emotional regulation and moments of panic.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals and preferences together and recommend which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit around busy days and let someone write thoughts in the moment. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or travel while keeping consistent support from registered or accredited professionals.
