About Kate

Kate Mollison is a UK-based counsellor with 24 years of professional experience. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress or major life changes. Her work draws on a mix of approaches so sessions are tailored to each person's needs.

Kate began her career across different settings, including employee assistance programmes and the NHS. Over two decades she moved between workplace, public and personal roles, gathering practical experience with many types of difficulty.

Background and approach

This gives her a broad view of what helps in everyday life. Her style centres on building a warm, honest relationship. She uses person-centred ideas to listen without judgement and to make space for what matters to the client.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, supplies straightforward tools and ways of talking about patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices and breathing exercises are offered to help people manage strong emotion in the moment. Trauma-focused and solution-focused methods are used when a clearer structure or a focus on immediate goals will help.

Kate adapts the mix of techniques to fit the situation rather than following a single method. She has worked with people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, work stress, mood disorders and neurodiversity concerns such as autism and ADHD. Kate keeps learning through courses and reading so she can offer relevant, current ideas.

She welcomes a first conversation to see if her way of working might suit you.

How Kate’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace. This approach helps when someone needs understanding and a safe space to talk through feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, gives clear steps and practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; it suits anxiety, low mood and stress by offering tools you can use between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage intense feelings and reduce rumination in day-to-day life.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, worries and preferences, then agree on methods to try. Plans can be adjusted over time so the work stays relevant to what matters most to the client.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone calls can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the same therapeutic focus used in face-to-face work.
