She has worked as a research psychologist and has experience supporting bereavement through Cruse and as an affiliate for Anxiety UK. She is also a qualified clinical supervisor and offers hypnotherapy privately.
Her approach draws on several methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work, hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques. She uses these approaches together where helpful and picks practical tools to address thoughts, feelings and habits. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on building skills for everyday situations.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Kate uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, teaching specific strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build committed action, useful for people stuck in avoidance or who want clearer goals. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can explore what matters and decide their next steps.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try together. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
The practical benefits of online work include making sessions easier to fit into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when life is hectic, while others value the chance to use mindfulness or hypnotherapy exercises from wherever they are located. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are scheduled and delivered.
