About Kate
Kate Mollison is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and coping with illness. She also supports concerns such as relationship difficulties, grief, addiction and work-related stress.
Her practice draws on several approaches rather than one fixed method. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map patterns of thoughts and behaviour and give practical tools. She combines that with client-centred listening to understand each person's situation and what matters to them.
Mindfulness and breathing exercises are part of sessions when helpful, giving straightforward ways to reduce tension and manage strong emotions. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and track progress in practical steps.
Kate describes her approach as gentle and collaborative. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and looks for unhelpful patterns to change. The work is conversational and structured - there is time for exploring feelings and time for trying out new skills.
Her background includes work in employee assistance programmes and delivering CBT within the NHS, as well as private practice using compassion-focused ideas. She has worked across different countries and cultures, and keeps updating her practice through reading and training. If someone wants clear strategies alongside understanding, she offers that mix of practical tools and reflective conversation.
How Kate blends structured approaches for online work
Kate commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which gives a clear way to track thoughts, feelings and actions and to practise new responses. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood and behaviour patterns people want to change.She also draws on client-centred counselling to prioritise listening and understanding the person’s experience. This helps identify which practical techniques will fit best. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple breathing and attention exercises that reduce tension and help manage distress in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and travel by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practise skills in their everyday routines and bring those experiences back into sessions for review.
