About Kate

Kate Williams is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She uses a person-centred style that keeps the client in charge of the pace and focus. Kate provides a calm, grounded presence while people talk through difficult feelings and experiences.

She trained in the United Kingdom and qualified in 2022, after completing 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity supporting people who self-harm and who have suicidal thoughts. That early work shaped how she listens and responds to emotional crisis and distress.

In sessions she follows a client-centred approach, which means she prioritises the person’s own goals and experience. She aims to create space for people to explore emotions, memories and relationship patterns without judgement. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the individual rather than a preset plan.

Kate works with a range of difficulties linked to attachment and relationships, including abandonment, communication and codependency concerns. She also supports people dealing with autism or Asperger Syndrome, caregiving strain, eating and food-related issues, and the effects of trauma.

Her experience is relatively recent, reflecting three years of professional practice since qualification. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and people must confirm practical session options before booking.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and placing the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. It helps people who need a non-judgemental space to talk about anxiety, stress, trauma and relationship concerns. The counsellor’s role is to reflect what the person says and follow their priorities rather than directing the conversation.

The approach is helpful for exploring attachment issues, feelings of abandonment, codependency and the emotional impacts of caregiving or trauma. For people who prefer to lead each session, this way of working supports self-paced exploration and emotional processing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client will decide together what feels most useful, adapting techniques as goals and needs become clearer. That collaborative process can include trying different ways of talking and checking in on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care while matching therapy to everyday life.
