About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kate) Bishop is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for six years. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or the effects of trauma and abuse. Kate makes space for difficult feelings and helps clients take small steps toward change.
Her style is warm and respectful. Conversations are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed programme. She listens for the practical problems behind painful emotions and helps people find clearer ways to cope day to day.
Background and approach
Kate uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. That means the work moves at a pace the client can manage and focuses on what matters most to them. Sessions may include talking, reflecting and trying out new ways of responding to familiar situations.
She has supported people with a wide range of issues including self-esteem, relationships, parenting strains, addictions, sleep difficulties, anger and career stress. Additional focus areas listed include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, neurodiversity such as autism, and dissociation-related difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary depending on location and therapist arrangements. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches Kathryn 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
The counsellor adapts sessions to the client’s needs and pace. That includes setting goals together and reviewing what helps as therapy progresses. Deciding which approach to try is a joint process based on the client’s goals, life situation and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation when seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions can suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Text and live chat work well for brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or when someone needs flexible timing.
Many people find online therapy lets them fit counselling around work, family and mobility needs while keeping continuity of care. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to offer regular sessions, practical coping strategies and a collaborative space to work through depression, anxiety and life changes.
