About Kate

Kate Fletcher is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and listed with NCPS. She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and intimacy issues, among other concerns.

Her focus includes codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, and problems with communication and control. She also supports people facing body image worries, eating and sleeping problems, and the emotional impact of chronic pain or illness. Kate works with people around anger, shame, isolation, and relationship jealousy.

Kate uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections affect current relationships. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions grounded in the person's own experience. She also applies elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

In practical terms sessions are conversational and goal-focused. People can expect to talk through patterns that keep them putting others first, and practice clearer boundaries and communication. Work may include looking at past relationship patterns and trying small steps that change daily life.

Kate also works with couples using an integrative method to identify recurring problems and work through them together. To begin she asks people to describe the immediate concerns and what they want to change, then helps agree the next steps.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape present relationships and emotional reactions. It can help people who keep prioritising others or who feel stuck repeating relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person's own perspective at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the person's pace so they can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and for breaking cycles like rumination or people-pleasing.

Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and make decisions together about which methods to use. That means sessions can shift over time as what helps becomes clearer.

The original biography did not set out exact online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily routines. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or make it easier to meet when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of conversational and structured techniques online to help address relationship patterns, boundaries and coping skills.
