About Kate
Kate Wilson is a counsellor with six years of experience who focuses on practical help for parents feeling overwhelmed. She speaks plainly about stress, anxiety, depression, grief and parenting strains. She listens carefully and helps people find small, usable steps to feel steadier day to day.
She links past experiences to present behaviours to make sense of repeating patterns. That often involves looking at attachment and abandonment issues and how they show up in relationships and parenting.
Background and approach
She uses a person-centred way of working, which means sessions follow what matters most to the client. Alongside that, she draws on cognitive behavioural tools to change unhelpful thinking and dialectical behaviour ideas to manage strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolkit when people want to focus on values and workable action.
These approaches are explained in plain language during sessions and used in ways that fit family life. Her practical aim is to build coping strategies that work in everyday settings. That can mean short calming techniques, routines to aid sleep, or communication skills for difficult conversations.
She encourages experiments between sessions so people can test what helps. Kate strives to be respectful and compassionate in the room. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and goals.
Reaching out is framed as a courageous first step, and she offers steady support as people work towards clearer, more manageable days.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice what matters to them and take small committed steps towards those values. It can help when life feels stuck or when parents want clearer priorities amid daily stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change them. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems and often includes straightforward homework tasks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods together. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time as needs change, mixing ACT, CBT or person-centred listening to suit what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer to write. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around parenting schedules, work commitments and everyday life.
