About Kate
Kate Clare is a counsellor with five years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strains, anger, depression and attention-deficit hyperactivity challenges. She also helps with codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, neurodiversity-related concerns, and other personal struggles.
She takes a straightforward, conversational approach in sessions. Kate treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on practical steps as well as exploring how past events affect present feelings and habits.
Her practice draws on several therapy styles so conversations can be tailored. Cognitive behavioural ideas help spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments. Narrative techniques look at the stories people tell about themselves and where change might be possible.
Kate also uses client-centred listening to make space for what matters most to the individual. Short-term, solution-focused work can be used when people want concrete goals and quick changes. She has both personal and professional experience with neurodiversity and brings that perspective into sessions when relevant.
She is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. That registration is recorded as BACP in her credentials. If someone is unsure whether to begin, she acknowledges that first steps can feel difficult and aims to make the process as clear and manageable as possible.
How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling
Client-centred work puts the person and their priorities first, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting back what matters. This helps people feel heard and decide what they want to work on. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small experiments to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Narrative therapy examines the stories someone tells about themselves and looks for different angles that allow new choices and meanings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals, preferences and practical needs, and they will choose methods together. That collaborative process means plans can shift as needs change.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered and accredited professionals use a range of techniques that can be applied in remote sessions to address stress, relationships, trauma-related concerns and codependency without promising a particular outcome.
