About Kate
Kate Neligan is a BACP-registered counsellor with 16 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She has an MA and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, and has worked in private practice as well as settings within the health service. She sees adults facing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and issues around sexuality.
Kate uses an integrative approach that draws on different methods to suit each person. She often combines humanistic, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to help people make sense of their patterns and move forward. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what someone wants to work through.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. In practical terms that means talking through what matters most, noticing patterns that keep problems in place, and testing small changes to see what helps. She offers support around life changes, work and career worries, self-esteem and relationship struggles.
Kate has experience working with addiction, ADHD and bereavement, and with people who are coping with family problems, parenting strain or caregiving stress. She also addresses intimacy and body-image concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and anger and control issues.
People who contact her begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The work focuses on clear goals and practical steps alongside exploring deeper emotional themes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can help people spot patterns in how they relate to others and practise new ways of connecting. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting; online meetings still allow time for the person to be heard and for the counsellor to mirror back what matters most. Psychodynamic ideas explore unconscious patterns and recurring themes; over regular online sessions these themes can emerge and be examined at a steady pace.Choosing the right approach is something to do together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and adjust methods as the work unfolds. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person's needs rather than assuming one way fits all.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier around study or jobs, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on busy days. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a session that fits a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make remote sessions feel like an ordinary part of life while focusing on clear goals and emotional work.
