About Kate
Kate Anderson is a BACP counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, anxious, or low in mood. She works with people who sense something needs to change in their life or relationships and offers a calm space to talk it through at a gentle pace. Her approach mixes practical steps with deeper exploration.
She pays attention to how early relationships and family roles shape current patterns, such as finding it hard to ask for help after being the family carer.
Background and approach
That background work aims to make everyday choices feel less automatic and more intentional. Kate draws on a range of ways of working to match the person in front of her.
She uses elements from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and to develop clearer, calmer responses to stress and anxiety. Attachment-based ideas and person-centred ways of working help people explore different parts of themselves with curiosity rather than judgement.
Mindfulness is often woven through sessions to support self-compassion and to notice painful reactions without being swept away by them. She also supports people to clarify values, boundaries and what matters in work and relationships. The aim is practical change alongside improved emotional steadiness, so people can act from choice rather than habit.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential Therapy encourages people to look at meaning, choice and what matters to them. It helps when life feels empty or uncertain and supports work on values, vocation and making purposeful changes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and for making behavioural changes that align with what matters most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk things through with the client and decide collaboratively which methods to use, adapting as needs and goals become clearer over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a near face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging options suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping access to registered or accredited professionals.
