Approaches that inform online work and flexible support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to take steps that align with personal values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and navigating difficult life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-directive relationship where the therapist provides understanding and support so clients can explore their own solutions; this approach is often useful for building self-esteem and working through grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours through practical strategies and exercises, which can be effective for depression, anxiety and many day-to-day difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kate will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods or combination of methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and understanding grow.
Online therapy with Kate is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support from home or elsewhere, maintain continuity during busy periods, and choose the way of communicating that feels most helpful at any point in the counselling journey.
