Kate Clare helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, anger and depression. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, family conflict and a wide range of related challenges. She is introduced here as a compassionate, straightforward counsellor who values each person’s experience.
Kate holds BACP accreditation as a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP and has five years of professional experience.
Background and approach
She frames sessions around what the client brings, and treats people as the experts in their own lives. Conversations are practical and focused on small, workable steps as well as understanding patterns that cause pain. Her background includes a strong professional and personal understanding of neurodiversity.
That experience informs how she adapts the pace and structure of sessions to match different ways of thinking and processing. She pays attention to everyday hurdles as well as deeper emotional themes. Kate uses several evidence-informed approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and narrative techniques.
These methods are blended to suit each person’s goals and needs rather than following a single fixed model. She welcomes people who are ready to take a first step, and will help create a practical plan to move forward. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How Kate’s approaches work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering a respectful, non-directive space to talk and be heard. It helps when someone needs to gain clarity, feel understood, and decide on next steps at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It tends to involve practical exercises and small behavioural changes, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.
Narrative Therapy invites people to tell their story and to separate themselves from the problems they face. Re-authoring parts of that story can reduce shame and open up new choices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will tailor methods collaboratively. Clients and therapist decide together which ideas to try and when to adjust course.
Please check the session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or make it simpler to meet without being on camera, depending on what the therapist provides.
