About Kate

Kate Williams is a person-centred counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She uses a calm, grounded manner and focuses on what each person needs in the moment. Kate qualified in the United Kingdom in 2022 and brings three years of post-qualification experience to her work.

Her sessions are led by the client. She listens closely and reflects what she hears so people can make sense of difficult feelings and thoughts.

Background and approach

Conversations move at the client’s pace, with the counsellor offering steady support rather than direction. Before qualifying, Kate completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice. That work took place in a charity that supports people dealing with self-harm and suicidal thoughts.

Those placements shaped her comfort with intense emotions and crisis-related experiences. In the room she aims to be calm and grounded. She stays with people through hard feelings and helps them to notice patterns in relationships and behaviour.

The focus is on understanding what matters to the individual and finding ways forward that feel manageable. Kate works in English and practises from the United Kingdom. She uses a client-centred model and adapts sessions to fit each person’s goals and situation.

This approach suits people who want a reflective, steady space to work through pain, confusion or life changes.

Sessions & fees

Client-centred care online and what it looks like

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the individual’s pace to help them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and struggles with self-worth.

Kate’s practice emphasises a calm, grounded presence that accompanies clients through difficult emotions. She will work collaboratively to find the best way forward, discussing what feels most helpful and adjusting the style if needed. Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together rather than a one-time choice.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or want a way to contact a counsellor without scheduling a call. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments, and to continue therapy when in-person meetings are not possible.
