Kate Wolsey
Supportive client-centred counsellor
About Kate
Kate Wolsey is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She draws on five years of experience helping people facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain. Kate aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings at their own pace.
Her main orientation is client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, and existential thinking to help people find meaning after loss or during major life changes.
Background and approach
These approaches are woven together to suit each person’s needs. Kate works with a broad range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, intimacy issues and eating difficulties. She also focuses on more specific themes such as attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and recovery after domestic violence or separation.
Kate pays attention to how past experiences shape current relationships and choices. Sessions are offered in English and she can work with clients internationally. Kate offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make fitting therapy around work and family life easier.
Fees vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Kate aims to support people taking a first step toward clearer thinking and healthier coping.

How Kate's Approaches Work Online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room and on their immediate experience. Sessions centre on what matters to the client, and the counsellor follows the client’s lead to help clarify feelings and choices. This approach often helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and how earlier experiences shape current responses. Through gentle reflection, a counsellor helps a person spot habits that cause pain and consider different ways of relating to others. This can be useful for long-running relationship problems and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kate will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods over time so therapy fits what a person needs. The choice is collaborative and can change as things progress.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in is preferred, and live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or people who find typing easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel, while keeping continuity between appointments.
