About Kate
Kate Williams is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience since qualifying in 2022. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Kate also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment and abandonment issues, and related patterns that leave them putting others first.
Before qualifying she completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice at a charity that supports people who have self-harmed or had suicidal thoughts. That experience shaped how she meets people who are carrying difficult feelings and risky thoughts.
Kate practises client-centred therapy. Sessions are led by the person attending and focus on what matters most to them in the moment. Her role is to sit with clients through strong emotions and help them find clearer thinking and steadier responses.
In practical terms she aims for calm and steadiness in sessions. Conversations tend to be direct and down-to-earth. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self within relationships, and helps clients name those patterns.
People who choose to work with her usually want help understanding how they relate to others, managing anxiety or stress, or coping after traumatic or abusive experiences. To start, she asks questions about what is happening now and what the person hopes to change, then works at the pace that feels manageable for that individual.
How sessions work
Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely to what the person brings. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and helping the person find their own understanding. This approach suits issues like anxiety, relationship patterns and recovering from trauma because it keeps the client's experience central.Kate draws on that client-centred stance to help decide what else might help. Finding the right approach is part of the work and she will discuss options with the client - looking at what feels manageable and what fits their goals. Decisions about pacing and technique are made together rather than imposed.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so check the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or caring schedules, or useful when they need a shorter check-in. Online work can allow regular appointments without travel and make it simpler to continue therapy around daily commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can usually talk through which format will suit practical needs and day-to-day life.
