About Kate
Kate Mollison is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 24 years of experience in the UK. She draws on a range of approaches to help people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and trauma. Her work often focuses on practical steps and simple skills people can use between sessions.
She began in employee assistance settings using solution-focused methods and has provided Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in NHS services. In independent practice she uses mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas alongside other approaches.
Background and approach
This mix lets her match methods to each person’s needs rather than use a single formula. In sessions she places emphasis on building an honest, non-judgemental relationship. That starts with listening to how someone’s life and upbringing shape their current difficulties.
From there she helps spot unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour and tries small changes to test what works. Practical tools are often offered, such as breathing and mindfulness exercises and CBT-style techniques to reframe thoughts and manage symptoms. Solution-focused work is used when a person wants short-term goals and quick steps to feel different.
She has helped people cope with long-term illness, bereavement, compassion fatigue and relationship struggles, among other issues. Kate keeps learning through courses and reading, and aims to adapt her approach as new needs arise. Based in Glasgow, she has lived and worked in several countries and values openness and curiosity when working with people.

How Kate works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try ways of working that fit those aims. This is a collaborative choice rather than a fixed package, and adjustments are made as understanding grows.
If you are thinking about online sessions, check the current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can make it easier to join from a break at work, avoid travel time, or choose a session that suits energy levels. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to match your routine and practical needs.
