  • Stress and anxiety
  • Attachment issues
  • Practical coping skills

About Kate

Kate Reeve is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem, relationship and family concerns, and blended family issues. She also supports people facing grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Kate uses straightforward, conversational sessions. She listens and helps people name what is difficult. She looks at coping strategies that are not working and suggests practical alternatives. Sessions aim to identify personal strengths and build small, achievable changes.

Her approach draws on several therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment‑Based methods. She also incorporates client‑centred and emotionally focused ideas where they fit. That mix allows her to adjust the way she works to the person in front of her rather than following a single script.

Clients who have experienced domestic violence, trauma or ongoing anxiety often come for help with safety planning, symptom reduction and rebuilding confidence. Kate has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those coping with adoption, foster care and abandonment issues. She pays attention to how early relationships affect current patterns.

In practical terms she helps people clarify goals, practise new ways of relating and manage everyday stresses. Conversations explore what gets in the way of using personal strengths and how to make steady changes. She asks questions, offers feedback and helps set realistic next steps.

If someone wants to begin, the usual route is to use the site matching process and arrange an initial session. Sessions are held in English and Polish for people in the UK and internationally.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and reconnect with personal values. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance and life changes by working on small committed actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioural tasks. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can be helpful for relationship worries, trust issues and blended family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan with the person, based on their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches over time.

Confirm session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check‑in meetings and making it easier to schedule around work or family routines. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session with less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, use a range of approaches and session lengths to match practical needs and goals.
