About Kate
Kate Wolsey is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS). She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings at their own pace. Her work is grounded in approaches that centre the person and their experience.
Kate specialises in bereavement and loss and also helps with anxiety, depression and self-esteem. She supports people facing relationship strains, parenting pressures, trauma and abuse, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Practical concerns such as career stress, anger and coping after disasters are within her scope of focus. Her style is client-centred, with influences from psychodynamic and existential thinking. Sessions aim to let clients explore patterns from the past and the meanings they attach to their experiences.
Conversations look at emotions, relationships and how these shape current choices. With five years of experience, Kate blends listening with gentle reflection. She encourages people to set the pace and bring topics that matter most.
This approach helps build clearer perspectives and actionable next steps in day-to-day life. Kate works in English and accepts international clients. She uses conversational language and straightforward questions to help people feel grounded during sessions.
If someone is ready to start, she guides them through the first steps to begin therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Kate uses a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of the work. This means sessions follow the client’s pace, with the counsellor listening and reflecting back to help clarify feelings and priorities. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns can influence current behaviour and relationships. That approach can help when someone wants to understand recurring difficulties or emotional reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Conversations early on focus on what the client wants to change and which ways of working feel most helpful. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer to see one another. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or need flexible, asynchronous contact. These formats offer practical accessibility and can be used alone or mixed depending on what suits the client. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, adapt their approach to the online format so therapeutic work remains focused and relevant.Questions people ask about Kate
