About Kate
Kate Mollison is a BACP counsellor with 24 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She draws on decades of experience across different settings to help people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and low self-esteem. Kate keeps things straightforward and practical in sessions and aims to treat each person as an individual.
Her background includes work in employee assistance programmes and the NHS, where she used solution-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches.
Background and approach
In independent practice she blends mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas with person-centred listening. This mix helps her respond to what each person brings rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. In the room she spends time building a calm, non-judgemental relationship and then gently looks at the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that cause distress.
She uses simple tools such as breathing and grounding exercises to help with overwhelming feelings. Where helpful, she offers cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and practical steps to test new behaviours. Kate has worked with people dealing with a wide range of concerns including stress, relationship issues, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and life changes such as illness or bereavement.
She also lists LGBT among her areas of focus and can address identity-related worries alongside other concerns. She keeps learning through courses and reading to bring fresh ideas into sessions. Prospective clients are invited to consider what they want from counselling and to discuss goals and practical arrangements before starting.

How counselling approaches guide online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship and listening closely to what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they decide on goals and next steps.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, provides practical tools to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It suits worries such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems and low self-esteem by offering exercises and small experiments to try between sessions.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These are often used alongside talking therapy to help people manage stress and overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as progress is made in sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone. Many people find that using practical techniques and structured tools remotely still supports steady progress.
