About Kate
Kate Woodall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage depression, anxiety and the daily stresses that come with life changes. She uses a calm, straightforward manner to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings. She welcomes people who are coping with grief, low self-esteem, persistent worry or struggles with motivation.
With six years of professional experience, she brings practical experience from supporting people with both mental and physical health challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes bereavement counselling at a UK hospice, where she helped people work through loss and the emotions that follow. Kate draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and build small, steady routines.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the individual. Meetings are a chance to talk through what matters, try small strategies, and find clearer ways to cope with day-to-day pressures.
Kate encourages practical steps alongside emotional exploration. She offers evening and some daytime hours to fit around work or caregiving commitments. Signing up begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that suits the person’s needs.
Many people find a few focused sessions useful for immediate relief and planning next steps.

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
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and body sensations without judgement. In online sessions Kate can guide brief mindfulness exercises and breathing techniques that people can use between meetings to reduce anxious thinking and improve sleep and focus.
Motivational interviewing is a conversational way to help someone resolve mixed feelings about change. Online conversations often use short goal-focused discussions and small homework steps to build momentum, which can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure where to begin.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Kate will discuss options and decide together which methods fit best for the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so they feel useful from the start.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day life.
