About Kate
Kate Fletcher is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as grief and low self-esteem.
Her approach uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now, and on manageable ways to respond. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred techniques that put the person’s priorities at the heart of each session.
Cognitive behavioural methods are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of behaving. These approaches can be helpful for social anxiety and phobias when the person wants tools to reduce avoidance and practise facing feared situations step by step. Kate also pays attention to issues such as body image, eating and sleeping, and coping with chronic illness.
She supports people dealing with anger, jealousy, control issues, dissociation, and codependency. Work can include talking through painful events, improving communication, and finding realistic steps to manage day-to-day stress. Sessions also cover parenting strain and career-related pressure when these are part of the problem.
Clients can expect steady, straightforward conversation and practical suggestions they can try between sessions. Kate accepts clients from outside the UK and works in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kate draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns formed in early relationships and how these affect current connections. This approach helps when difficulty trusting others or repeating painful relationship habits is part of the problem.She uses client-centred work to keep the person’s priorities at the centre of each session, listening and responding to what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours in small steps, which can suit anxiety and phobic responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to agree what feels most useful, adjusting methods as goals and circumstances change rather than using a single fixed method.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full face-to-face session is not practical. Talk-based methods, behavioural experiments and home-practice tasks can all be adapted to remote work with a registered or accredited professional.
