Kate Wilson is a psychotherapist and counsellor with ten years' experience.
About Kate
Kate Wilson is a psychotherapist and counsellor with ten years' experience. She draws on a mix of talking therapies and hypnotherapy to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Her approach is friendly and down-to-earth, and she aims to make sessions easy to understand and practical to use.
She has a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics.
Background and approach
Before training as a therapist she worked as a research psychologist at the London School of Economics. She is also a qualified clinical supervisor who supports other therapists in their professional practice. Kate has spent time supporting people through bereavement and grief, including roles with Cruse as a support worker and supervisor.
She is an affiliate for Anxiety UK and often helps people manage worry, panic and ongoing anxiety. Confidence and self-esteem are additional areas of focus that stem from her Masters dissertation work. Her practice covers a wide range of issues such as coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, addiction and compassion fatigue.
She also offers help around complex topics like attachment, abandonment, cancer-related distress and end-of-life matters. In sessions she uses a pluralistic style, combining techniques from approaches that match a person's needs at the time. The aim is to work together on realistic goals and small steps that fit everyday life.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what is said, helping people feel understood and find their own solutions for issues like low self-esteem or relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and managing stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try techniques that fit the person's goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with regular check-ins about what is helping and what needs to change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while still using the same therapeutic approaches and techniques.
