About Kate
Kate Wolsey is a counsellor and a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and bereavement and loss. Her practice also covers issues such as self-esteem, parenting strain and coping with life changes.
She favours a person-centred way of working, which places the client’s concerns and pace at the heart of sessions. This means conversations follow what matters to the person rather than a fixed agenda. Psychodynamic ideas are also used to look at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences shape present reactions.
Existential perspectives appear in discussions about meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels uncertain or overwhelming. In practice this leads to straightforward conversations about values, worries and the options someone has. Sessions aim to give space to talk through grief, trauma, anger or challenges with intimacy and attachment.
Kate’s background includes supporting people through bereavement, self-harm aftermath, and anxiety-related difficulties. She blends these approaches in a way that keeps the person in control of what is addressed. Practical matters such as managing intense feelings, improving communication, and finding ways to cope with major life changes are common session themes.
People can expect short, clear sessions that focus on what they want to work on. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-centred work focuses on the person’s concerns and pace. Online conversations follow what matters most to the client, allowing them to set the topics and speed of progress. Psychodynamic ideas look at repeated patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings, which can be discussed and reflected on during sessions. Existential work explores questions of meaning, values and choice when someone feels stuck or uncertain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the mix of person-centred, psychodynamic or existential ideas to the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and decisions about focus are made together.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it possible to meet during a work break. They also let the client choose surroundings that feel quieter or less distracting, and allow the therapist to use talking, reflection and practical exercises in the session just as in person.
