Kate Clare
Compassionate, practical therapy for everyday struggles
About Kate
Kate Clare is a BACP-registered therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related difficulties. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression and ADHD. Kate’s approach is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first step easier for anyone who is nervous about starting therapy.
She believes the client is the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and grounded in clear, practical work rather than jargon. Kate draws on a range of approaches to suit different problems and personalities. Her background includes five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and substantial experience with neurodiversity, both professionally and personally.
That experience shapes how she responds to communication styles and sensory differences in the therapy room. In practice she uses listening and questioning to help people make sense of patterns that cause pain. She offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and space to tell and reframe difficult stories.
The work can involve short-term problem solving or deeper exploration depending on what a person needs. Kate works in a respectful, steady way and focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. She encourages small changes that lead to clearer thinking and better emotional balance.
People who want a thoughtful, person-focused counsellor often find her style easy to work with.

How Kate blends approaches for online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person as they are. The therapist follows the client's pace, reflecting what matters most and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those aims. The choice of approach can change as the work progresses, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also make some practical tasks simpler, such as sharing written exercises between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists vary in how they run remote sessions, so check the offered formats when you arrange your first appointment.
