About Kate

Kate Williams is a person centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and those struggling with relationship issues, trauma, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also supports people who are dealing with codependency and related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries.

She trained in the UK and qualified in 2022, and has three years of professional experience. During training she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical work at a charity supporting people who self-harm and those living with suicidal thoughts. That experience informs how she approaches difficult feelings.

Kate uses a client-led, person centred style. She aims to create a calm, grounded space where people can talk through thoughts, emotions and life events at their own pace. Her role is to accompany rather than direct, helping people find their own understanding and next steps.

Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and building a trusting working relationship. Practical conversations may cover coping strategies for stress, clearer communication in relationships, and managing low self-worth. The emphasis is on what the person wants to work on and on steady progress, not quick fixes.

People considering therapy are asked to select the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How a person centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach used. It emphasises listening and understanding the person's experience without judgement. This approach can help when someone is dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, low self-esteem or feeling overwhelmed by trauma and difficult emotions.

The therapist aims to create a calm, grounded presence in sessions and to follow the client's lead. That means the counsellor works collaboratively to find the best way forward, adjusting the approach to match what the person needs and prefers as therapy continues.

Practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions into a busy week and the ability to meet without travelling. Because formats are not specified in the biography, readers should confirm current session options before booking. The therapist will discuss which way of meeting suits the person's goals and daily life when arranging the first appointment.
