Kate Williams, BACP

Kate Williams helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She also supports concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. Kate’s name and short credential appear clearly so people know who they are reading about. She qualified in the United Kingdom in 2022 and holds BACP accreditation, having completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice during training. That placement focused on supporting people coping with self-harm and suicidal thoughts, giving her experience in intense emotional situations. Kate works in a person-centred way. That means she follows the person in front of her, listening closely and responding to what matters most to them. Sessions are client led, with an emphasis on being calm and grounded while helping someone sit with hard feelings and painful memories. In practical terms she helps people talk through difficult thoughts and emotions, explore patterns that affect relationships, and build more helpful ways of relating to themselves and others. Conversations are paced to the person’s needs and aim to create clearer understanding rather than quick fixes. If you want to begin, you use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. You can then schedule sessions according to therapist availability and the subscription model that applies to sessions.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person. It aims to give people space to explore feelings and thoughts while the counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and a calm, grounded presence. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, relationship worries and processing difficult experiences.

Because the work is led by the client, the therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best way forward. Together they will consider goals, preferences and how sessions feel, and then adjust the approach as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure the method matches the person rather than the other way around.

If you are considering online therapy, please check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online work helps fit counselling into a busy week, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or audio-only sessions when less bandwidth is available. Confirm the session options and schedule when you start so arrangements suit your day-to-day life.
