About Kate
Kate Neligan is a psychotherapist with a strong clinical background and 16 years' experience. She holds an MA and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works from the United Kingdom and supports clients in English, including international clients.
Her approach blends humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with practical, goal-focused methods. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what someone needs.
Background and approach
She aims for a collaborative style that treats people with compassion and respect. In practice she helps people with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, stress and relationship difficulties. Other areas she addresses include sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem.
She also works with people dealing with trauma, attachment and family of origin problems. When beginning work she focuses on what the person wants to achieve. Conversations are used to understand patterns and identify small changes that can make day-to-day life easier.
Where helpful, she draws on solution-focused techniques to set practical goals and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing themes. Clients can expect clear, respectful sessions that are tailored to individual needs. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.
The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kate works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and the therapeutic relationship. It offers space to speak without judgement, which can be helpful for stress, low mood and life changes.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores longer-standing themes and emotional patterns. It is useful when people want to understand the roots of ongoing difficulties such as repeated conflicts or persistent low self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit you. Plans can be adjusted over time as you learn what helps most.
If you plan to use online therapy, please confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules change or for international clients.
