Kate Mollison, BACP

Kate Mollison is a counsellor with over 24 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She trained and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has worked across the NHS, employee assistance programmes and independent practice. Kate draws on a broad range of therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. She describes her work as collaborative and respectful of each person's background and story.

Her experience includes helping people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and grief. She also supports those coping with long-term illness, addiction, stress and relationship challenges. Kate pays attention to how thinking patterns and behaviours affect daily life, and she tailors the work to each person rather than using a single method for everyone.

In sessions she combines person-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy. Mindfulness and breathing exercises are used to help manage overwhelm and regulate emotions. She also uses compassion-focused ideas to reduce self-criticism and build kinder self-treatment.

Kate has worked in varied cultural settings and has practised in both public and independent services. She keeps learning through courses, reading and podcasts to refine her approach. Her goal is to help people make small, achievable changes that feel meaningful in everyday life.

If you are considering counselling she asks for a short discussion to see if her way of working suits your needs. The first step is a brief matching process before arranging sessions.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful relationship. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions; this approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It gives straightforward tools and strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as therapy continues, making changes where needed.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, making brief check-ins possible during a workday, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Many registered or accredited professionals use a mix of listening, practical exercises and short homework tasks that translate well to remote sessions.
