About Kate
Kate Neligan is a counsellor with 16 years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds the BACP credential, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Kate has worked in both independent practice and NHS settings and has supported people with concerns such as anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship problems.
She keeps sessions warm and straightforward. Kate describes her style as empathic and collaborative and aims to treat people with respect and compassion.
Background and approach
She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone needs. Her approach is integrative, combining humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with solution-focused methods when helpful. That means she pays attention to past patterns, current relationships and practical steps that can reduce distress.
She adapts the mix to suit each person rather than using one fixed method. People come to Kate for a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and addictions, as well as issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping. She also supports those facing life changes, career questions or compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, manage symptoms and find workable changes. Kate offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and international clients are accepted.
To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches Kate lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean focusing on relationship patterns at one time and shifting to solution-focused steps at another.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone is helpful when bandwidth or comfort on camera is limited, live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options aim to make it easier to connect and keep therapy consistent despite travel, work or family commitments.
