About Kate

Kate Mollison is a counsellor with 24 years of practice across the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has worked in a variety of settings, from NHS roles to employee assistance programmes and private practice. Kate aims to meet people where they are and treat each person as an individual rather than using one fixed method.

She uses a blend of approaches so sessions can change to suit the moment. That might mean talking through thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural tools. It could involve person-centred listening to build trust. Mindfulness and breathing are used to help with stress and mood regulation.

Trauma-focused work and solution-focused steps are also part of her toolkit. These methods are used to help people process difficult events and identify small practical changes. Kate has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, bipolar challenges and coping with life changes, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

Her practice also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, career strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and challenges that come with ageing or caring roles. She describes her style as open, curious and non-judgemental, aiming to explore unhelpful patterns together.

Kate has experience in workplace counselling and NHS settings, and has lived and worked in different countries. She keeps learning through courses and resources to bring fresh ideas into sessions. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on practical steps and emotional understanding.

How therapy approaches translate online

Client-centred work focuses on building a trusting relationship and responding to each person's experience. Online sessions using this approach emphasise listening, reflecting and helping people feel heard even when they are not in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) online offers practical steps and a shared vocabulary to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often uses short exercises and worksheets that can be reviewed together during a session to work on anxiety, depression or patterns that cause distress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple breathing and attention exercises to manage stress and mood. These techniques can be practised in short bursts between sessions to build calmer routines and better self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work with the counsellor. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together decide which methods to try. That plan can change as work progresses to match practical needs and emotional priorities.

If you are considering online work, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and they can make it easier to keep appointments when life is busy.
