About Kate
Kate Clare helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship struggles. She supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, anger and depression. Kate also works with concerns linked to ADHD and a wide range of related difficulties.
She describes herself as someone who sees each person as the expert on their own story. Conversations focus on strengths people already have and practical ways to move forward.
Background and approach
Kate aims to make the first steps feel manageable and respectful. Her counselling draws on several well-known approaches. She uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Narrative ideas help people separate themselves from difficult problems and rewrite parts of the story that hold them back. Solution-focused work keeps therapy grounded by identifying small, achievable changes to try between sessions.
Kate has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. She also has extensive personal and professional experience of neurodiversity, which informs her way of working. If someone is unsure how to begin, Kate encourages a simple first step.
Booking starts with an initial match process and then scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

How Kate works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals and preferences, making decisions collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how appointments will run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue regular appointments during changes to daily routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit remote conversations and practical tasks between sessions, helping therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific format.
