About Kate
Kate Wolsey is an integrative counsellor and a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS) with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, and challenges linked to life transitions. Kate lists young adult issues among her focus areas and supports concerns that commonly emerge in early adulthood.
Her main approach is client-centred therapy, which places the person’s concerns and pace at the centre of sessions. She also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas to help people make sense of patterns, past influences and questions about meaning. Sessions are led by what the client brings and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Kate describes working with a wide range of difficulties including self-harm, self-esteem, grief, trauma and family-related problems. She also lists ADHD, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, career worries and anger as areas she addresses. Practical and emotional topics such as communication, commitment and attachment are part of her work.
In sessions she listens without judgement and encourages people to speak freely about their thoughts and feelings. She helps identify unhelpful patterns and supports people as they try different ways of coping. The emphasis is on the client's own goals and on exploring options for change.
People who are navigating leaving home, starting work or study, or feeling uncertain about next steps may find this approach helpful. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and book an initial session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centred therapy puts the client's concerns and rhythm at the heart of the work. In practice this means the counsellor listens, reflects and follows what the client chooses to discuss, which can help with stress, anxiety and relationship problems.Psychodynamic work pays attention to past patterns and how they show up now. It offers a way to understand repeated ways of relating, attachment issues and long-standing emotional responses that affect current life choices.
Existential ideas focus on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. This can be useful for people facing big life changes, uncertainty after study or work transitions, and for those feeling stuck about identity or direction.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kate will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The emphasis is collaborative and adaptive rather than fixed.
