Experienced counsellor combining therapy and hypnotherapy
About Kate
Kate Wilson is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years of clinical experience. She uses practical talking therapies and hypnotherapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and grief. Kate works from a calm, warm manner and focuses on what each person needs now.
Her background is in psychology. She holds a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics.
Background and approach
Before training as a therapist, she worked as a research psychologist at the London School of Economics. Kate also holds the NCPS credential and provides clinical supervision to other therapists. She specialises in anxiety and bereavement, and has worked with organisations focused on those areas.
Confidence and self-esteem have been a long-term interest, and her master’s dissertation investigated confidence-related issues. Kate draws on a range of approaches so sessions can be tailored to what helps most in the moment. Clients commonly bring concerns such as relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, addiction and career stress.
Additional focus areas include body image, attachment and issues linked to illness or end-of-life care. She aims to create a non-judgemental space for people to talk things through and find practical ways forward. In sessions Kate combines evidence-based methods with mindfulness and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
She supports people working through life changes, grieving losses, or wanting coaching-style support to meet specific goals. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck on them and then focus on values-led action. It is useful for anxiety, stress and navigating life changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the counsellor listens closely and reflects what is said to help people find their own solutions. This approach supports issues like low self-esteem and grief. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying patterns of thought and behaviour and testing new ways of responding; it often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try out methods together. That collaborative planning means sessions can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use facial cues and longer talking time, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and make it possible to continue consistent work even when life is busy.
