Kate Mollison, BACP

Kate Mollison is a counsellor with over two decades of experience. She holds BACP registration and has worked across the NHS, employee assistance programmes and private practice. Kate focuses on practical help for everyday problems such as anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports people with trauma, grief, long-term illness and intimacy-related issues.

Kate uses an integrated way of working rather than one fixed method. She values a straightforward, accepting relationship with people. Together they notice repeating patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that make life harder. Sessions often involve learning tools to manage difficult moments.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, provides a clear structure and simple techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness exercises and breathing practices are used to help people calm their nervous system and cope better in the moment. Kate also draws on person-centred ideas to keep the focus on individual experience and strengths.

Her background includes solution-focused work within employee support programmes and CBT roles in the NHS. She has worked in a wide range of settings and with many different cultures. This variety has informed a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs.

People who choose Kate can expect a practical, compassionate approach. She keeps up-to-date through reading, podcasts and further training. To begin, clients follow the site's matching process and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How Kate’s approaches fit into online therapy

Kate often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to give people practical steps and a shared language for difficult thoughts and behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and mood shifts because it breaks down problems into manageable parts.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach breathing exercises and attention skills that reduce reactivity in stressful moments. These practices help with sleep, stress and coping when emotions feel overwhelming.

The therapist emphasizes a collaborative process to find the right mix of approaches. She will work with each person to set goals and try techniques, then adjust those methods based on what helps most. Finding a good fit is part of the work together rather than a one-off choice.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats currently offered before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, avoid travel and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practising techniques such as CBT exercises and mindfulness between meetings so therapy can be integrated into everyday routines.
