About Kate

Kate Anderson is a BACP counsellor who helps people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about the direction of their life or relationships. She meets clients with low mood, anxiety, relationship strain, or struggles around meaning and self‑worth. Sessions are offered in English and she works with international clients from the United Kingdom.

Her approach is integrative and practical. She draws on different methods over time to fit what each person needs. That might include exploring how past relationships shape current responses, and developing clearer ways to ask for help and set boundaries.

Depth work looks at internal parts of the self with curiosity and care. This draws on person‑centred ideas, inner child work, and Internal Family Systems to create steadiness and integration. These pieces aim to help people feel more emotionally grounded and able to manage difficult feelings.

Alongside that, she examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used to build calm, clarity and greater choice in responses. Mindfulness practices are woven in to develop self‑compassion and pause before reacting.

She also explores values, strengths, and patterns in close relationships. Topics often include attachment dynamics, codependency, communication and setting limits. The goal is to help people act more in line with their values and live more fulfilling lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking steps that match those values, while learning to sit with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people notice and change unhelpful responses in close relationships. It is useful for codependency, intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and personal preferences and adapt methods as the process unfolds. This is a collaborative exploration rather than a fixed plan from the start.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to access support from different locations. Some people find it simpler to use shorter check‑ins or sessions around work commitments, and others like not having to travel. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and how they might suit your needs.
