About Kate
Kate Mollison is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience. She has worked across different services, including employee assistance programmes and the NHS, and now provides private practice support. Her listed areas include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and a wide range of life changes including blended family issues.
She uses an integrated approach rather than a single method. That means she draws on client-centred work to build a working relationship and on cognitive behavioural therapy to give practical tools and a shared vocabulary. Mindfulness and breathing strategies are used to help people manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
Kate also uses solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable changes and trauma-focused ideas when past events are affecting present life. She describes therapy as a collaborative process of noticing unhelpful patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours and trying different responses.
Her background includes running short-term work-based interventions and delivering CBT within the NHS. She has also developed a private practice where she uses compassion-focused ideas to address harsh self-criticism and build kinder self-relating. Her experience covers common and complex concerns including addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD and bereavement.
Kate has lived and worked in different countries and cultures and is curious about approaches that help people manage life pressures. To begin she asks people to pick the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kate uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour and to teach practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood and unhelpful reactions. CBT sessions tend to involve setting small goals, trying behavioural experiments and learning techniques to shift thought patterns.She also uses mindfulness practice to help people notice and regulate strong emotions. Mindfulness here means short attention exercises and breathing techniques that reduce reactivity and make it easier to pause before reacting to stressors.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and check progress as they go, adjusting the plan where needed.
