BACP counsellor - stress and anxiety

About Kate

Kate Mollison is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience. She has worked across a range of settings, including employee assistance programmes and the NHS, and now sees people in private practice. Kate commonly supports adults with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship or life-change challenges.

She uses an integrated approach rather than one fixed method. Kate combines person-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools. She also draws on mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas to help people manage difficult emotions and self-critical thinking.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Kate aims to help people spot unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling and behaviour. Together they try out small changes and skills that fit day-to-day life, such as breathing or thought-tracking techniques.

Her background includes solution-focused work in employee assistance settings and CBT within the NHS. That mix means she is used to short-term practical work as well as longer, exploratory conversations about past experiences and trauma.

Kate has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, grief, parenting strain, career uncertainty, ADHD and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people dealing with long-term illness, caregiver stress and body image worries. Her practice reflects many years of work with diverse clients and cultures.

To start, Kate asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How Kate uses talking therapies online

Kate commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness approaches in her work. CBT gives a clear way to name unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to shift them. Mindfulness work teaches simple breathing and attention exercises to reduce reactivity and manage intense feelings.

She also uses a person-centred stance in sessions, which means the conversation focuses on the person's experience and priorities. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and adjust methods as needed rather than sticking to one plan from the start.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and travel, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to help people keep therapy consistent alongside busy everyday lives.
