About Kathryn

Kathryn (Kate) Bishop is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship concerns. Kate also supports those coping with life changes, ADHD and a broad range of interpersonal and identity-related struggles.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. Kate aims to create direct, clear conversations that help clients notice patterns and try different ways of handling difficult moments.

In practical terms she offers focused conversations about family conflict, intimacy-related issues, body image and work or career worries. She also helps with coping strategies for sleep, eating concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress. People bring problems ranging from anger and codependency to grief and compassion fatigue.

Kate speaks English and works with adults in the UK. International clients are not currently accepted. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site. That first meeting is used to set goals and agree how to work together.

How Client-Centred Work Transfers to Online Sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what someone says so they can make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. It helps people who are anxious, grieving, depressed or dealing with relational and identity questions to slow down and notice what matters to them. Kate uses this approach to prioritise the client’s perspective and to shape sessions around the issues they bring.

The first few meetings are used to explore goals together and to decide which ways of working feel most helpful. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process: the therapist and client check in about what is working, adjust the pace, and agree on practical steps that suit the client’s needs and preferences.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and travel by removing the need to commute. It can also allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or let someone choose a session style that needs less bandwidth, such as audio rather than video. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible formats to help therapy slot into everyday life while focusing on real goals and coping strategies.
