About Kate
Kate Anderson is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like their life and relationships need to change. Many people who come to her are dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting pressures, or struggles with self-esteem and codependency.
Her work mixes ways of looking at how past relationships shape present behaviour. She helps people notice patterns that leave them putting others first or avoiding their own needs. Conversations often focus on attachment, family roles, and how early experiences affect current choices.
She also uses strategies drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to examine the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. This part of the work is about practical steps to respond differently to stressful moments and to build clearer boundaries and steadier reactions.
Mindfulness is included as a simple tool for noticing feelings and creating space to choose responses instead of reacting on autopilot. Sessions include exploring values, what matters to someone, and small changes that reflect those values in everyday life.
Kate draws on client-centred ways of working that emphasise listening and reflection alongside deeper inner work. That can involve exploring different parts of the self and family-of-origin themes to make sense of recurring patterns. She aims to help people increase self-trust and act in ways that better match their priorities.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small, value-driven actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about choices in relationships and life direction.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current interaction styles. This approach supports people who struggle with trust, intimacy or have a habit of putting others first by tracing patterns back to formative experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try approaches that fit the person’s needs. The process is collaborative and adjustments can be made as therapy continues.
Check which session formats are offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals use these ways of working to help clients practice new responses in everyday situations and build clearer boundaries over time.
