About Kate

Kate Mollison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 24 years of experience. She holds BACP credentials and has worked across many settings including NHS and employee assistance programmes. Kate focuses on helping people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and the stresses of everyday life.

She uses a variety of approaches rather than a single method. That means sessions can include person-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness tools and solution-focused questions. Kate also draws on compassion-focused practices to help people be less harsh with themselves.

Her work often centres on short- and longer-term problems such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, coping with illness and life changes. She aims to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours gently and to find practical steps that feel manageable. Breathing techniques and simple mindfulness exercises are offered where helpful.

Kate has worked in many different cultures and settings and describes herself as open and curious. She keeps learning through courses and reading so she can offer fresh approaches when they suit a person’s needs. Her aim is to build an honest, non-judgemental relationship and to adapt the work to each individual.

People who choose to work with Kate can expect a collaborative process that looks at patterns getting in the way of a more fulfilling life. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical ways to make change over time.

How Kate’s approaches translate to online work

Kate combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. Client-centred work focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening closely to what matters to the person. Cognitive behavioural therapy gives a practical framework and simple tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Mindfulness therapy offers short exercises and breathing techniques to manage stress and reduce reactivity.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify priorities, try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed. Together they check what helps and what needs changing so the work fits the individual's goals and pace.

Please confirm current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer practising mindfulness or CBT exercises from a familiar setting. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose the best way to meet your needs.
