About Kate

Kate Wolsey is a counsellor who centres her work on the client. She uses a Client-Centred approach to make space for people to speak openly. She is a registered member of the National Counselling Society, NCPS, and has five years of practice. Kate focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, loss and relationship strains.

Her sessions are calm and non-judgemental. She asks questions and listens to help people understand their feelings. Conversations move at the client's pace and the topics are chosen by the person attending.

Kate draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. This can help people see where old habits and early relationships affect current choices. She also uses existential thinking to help people tackle big questions about meaning, responsibility and change.

She has particular experience with bereavement and loss, and with issues such as parenting pressures, anger, eating concerns and coping after trauma. Kate also supports people dealing with career uncertainty, low self-esteem and the practical strains of caregiving.

Sessions focus on clear, honest conversation and practical next steps. The aim is to help people feel more in control and better able to face changes. If someone wants to begin, they follow a simple sign-up and scheduling process to match with her.

How Kate’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. In practice this means the counsellor listens deeply, follows the client’s lead, and helps them make decisions at their own pace. This approach often suits people dealing with loss, anxiety or relationship issues who want a steady, person-focused space.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and over time. Online sessions can use this to notice recurring themes that affect current life, such as attachment or control issues. Existential therapy focuses on meaning, responsibility and change, helping people face big life questions and choices when coping with grief or major transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and will help decide which ideas or mix of approaches feels most useful. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins or offering a way to meet from different locations. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity through life changes while working on stress, relationships and grief.
