Kate Jarvis, NCPS

Kate Jarvis is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and low self-esteem. She works with adults on everyday struggles like lack of motivation, sleep problems and life changes. Kate has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS credentialing in the United Kingdom.

She believes the client is the expert in their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on listening, asking practical questions and helping people make small, achievable changes. The tone is supportive and non-judgemental, with the client setting the pace.

Kate uses a client-centred way of working, which means conversations are guided by the person in the room rather than a strict agenda. This approach suits people who want time to talk and to reflect on their feelings and choices. It can help with issues such as anxiety, depression, attachment concerns and coping with loss.

In practice she helps people notice patterns in relationships, handle anger, address codependency and manage the stress of caregiving or chronic illness. She also works with people navigating divorce, commitment doubts, family problems and the emotional impact of cancer.

Clients can expect a calm, patient style where the counsellor seeks to understand before offering suggestions. Kate supports people through practical steps and reflections aimed at improving daily functioning and emotional wellbeing.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathic understanding and following the client’s agenda. It gives people space to tell their story, name their goals and try different ways of coping. This approach can help with issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns and grieving changes.

Finding the right way to work is part of therapy. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and practical needs together with the client. That collaboration helps shape session length, focus and pacing so the work fits each person’s life and aims.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and offer flexible check-ins when days are busy. Some people prefer shorter conversations by phone or brief video check-ins, while others choose longer sessions to process deeper material. A therapist who uses a client-centred approach will help decide which arrangement suits the client’s current needs and goals.
