About Kate

Kate Reeve is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and life changes. She also works with issues such as addiction, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger and career concerns. Sessions can be held in English or Polish and she accepts international clients.

Kate uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In practice she looks for clear, manageable steps people can try between sessions. She helps identify thoughts and habits that get in the way, then tests alternatives to see what fits.

Her work pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that influence reactions to stress and loss. For people who have experienced trauma or domestic violence she focuses on stabilising coping skills, pacing recovery and addressing safety and trust issues. She also supports those navigating adoption, foster care, separation and bereavement.

For people who are neurodivergent she draws on years of experience to understand sensory, social and routine needs alongside emotional concerns. Kate discusses practical adjustments and coping strategies that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.

She asks clients to set clear goals and reviews progress regularly. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire followed by a scheduled first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.

How Kate uses structured approaches in online work

Kate commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. ACT teaches noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values, which can help with motivation and coping.

She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This work helps when trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns are getting in the way of feeling settled. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; she will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approach to prioritise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare and travel because they remove commute time and can be scheduled during a break. Others prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone sessions when video would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing and homework to suit everyday routines and responsibilities.
