About Kate
Kate Clare is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, family conflict, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with codependency concerns and issues linked to neurodiversity.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what the person brings and build on their existing strengths. Conversations are straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people spot patterns and make small, manageable changes.
Kate uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Narrative methods look at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories can change. Psychodynamic ideas can be used to notice recurring patterns from earlier relationships.
She also draws on client-centred and solution-focused ways of working. That means listening closely, prioritising what matters now, and setting reachable goals together. The style tends to be direct and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Kate has professional and personal experience with neurodiversity and mentions that openly in her work. People who have lived with long-term caregiving, chronic illness, or complex family dynamics may find those experiences are understood and addressed in sessions.
How sessions work
How Kate’s therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their priorities at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without directing, and sessions focus on what the client says matters most. This approach suits people who need a space to name their experience and decide next steps at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is practical and problem-focused. It helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replace them with different ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and daily patterns that keep someone stuck.
Kate will work with the client to choose approaches that fit their needs. Figuring out the right mix is collaborative - she checks in about what helps and what does not, and adapts the plan over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time, and allow a shorter check-in option when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of work while balancing family, work and other commitments.
