About Kate

Kate Wolsey is a counsellor with five years' experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She is a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and specialises in bereavement and loss alongside a broad range of concerns. Kate offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and consider what they want next.

Her main approach places the client at the centre of the work. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on whatever issues they bring. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to understand patterns, meaning and personal values.

Clients bring many different problems to sessions, from relationship strain and parenting pressures to grief, trauma, anger and questions about identity. Kate supports people coping with career stress, low self-esteem, eating issues and ADHD-related concerns among other matters.

She aims to help people make sense of painful experiences and find practical ways to cope day to day. Conversations can look at past relationships and recurring patterns, or concentrate on immediate steps to feel steadier and clearer.

Kate works with people from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before they schedule a first appointment.

How client-centred and psychodynamic ideas work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person in the middle of the work. The aim is to listen closely, follow what matters to the client and move at their pace. This approach is useful for people who want a steady, supportive space to talk through feelings and choices.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat between relationships and across time. It helps people notice recurring reactions and make different choices. Existential ideas invite people to consider meaning, responsibility and what matters to them now, which can be helpful during major life changes or bereavement.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work collaboratively to identify which ideas feel most helpful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Some sessions may focus on immediate coping steps, while others explore history and values over time.

Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered professionals often use these advantages to help people keep therapy consistent around work, parenting or other commitments.
