In sessions she listens first and follows the person’s pace. She uses person-centered techniques to keep conversations focused on what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioral strategies are added when helpful to notice thought patterns and try new behaviors. Kate often brings mindfulness work into sessions to help calm racing thoughts and ground attention. She also draws on existential ideas to talk about meaning, purpose, and how anxiety shows up in life.

These methods are used alongside practical problem solving for parenting, career, and day-to-day functioning. Therapy with her tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented. People can expect clear suggestions, short exercises to practice between meetings, and a respectful space to talk through difficult topics.

The pace and techniques are adjusted based on each person’s needs. Her work style aims to be warm and straightforward. She focuses on helping people manage symptoms, build coping skills, and make changes that fit their real life.

Kate welcomes conversations about how to tailor the work to individual goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s own priorities and pace. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, letting sessions unfold around the client’s goals and concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and teaches small experiments to change behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods, try techniques in sessions, and adjust plans based on what feels useful. This collaborative process helps match strategies to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for busy days and different comfort levels with talking. Video and phone allow real-time conversation, while chat and messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins or to practice skills between meetings. Together, these formats make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and continue progress across locations and schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
