About Kate

Kate Williams is a person-centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Kate aims to offer calm, steady support while people talk through difficult feelings and experiences.

Kate qualified in the UK in 2022 and has around three years of experience in the field. During training she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity supporting people who self-harm and who have suicidal thoughts. That experience helped shape her calm, grounded presence in sessions.

Her way of working is client-centred, which means she follows the person’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting what she hears, and helping people find their own ways forward. Conversations are practical and conversational rather than prescriptive.

People come with many related concerns including attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, difficulty with commitment, communication or control, caregiver stress, and issues connected to autism or avoidant and dependent personality traits. Kate also supports people with eating and food-related issues, family of origin wounds and the emotional impact of disasters.

Sessions aim to help people feel understood, to name painful patterns, and to try out different coping ideas. Kate uses a steady, empathetic presence to accompany people as they make changes at work and in everyday life.

How a person-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a counsellor offering non-judgemental listening, acceptance and reflection. The aim is to help people feel heard and to support them in finding their own solutions. This approach often suits stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and low self-esteem because it prioritises the person’s experience and pace.

Kate brings a calm, grounded presence to sessions and follows the person’s lead. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the style as the relationship develops.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy workday, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the exact options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work in ways that help people access therapy more easily and consistently.
