About Kate
Kate Clare is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain and grief. She also supports people dealing with anger, low self‑esteem, ADHD and a wide range of life challenges. Kate holds BACP registration and brings five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom.
She works from the view that the client is the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
How Kate works
Conversations aim to uncover strengths, make sense of difficult feelings and find small steps forward that feel possible in everyday life. Her practice includes approaches such as client‑centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, narrative methods and psychodynamic thinking, alongside solution‑focused strategies. These are used flexibly to match each person’s needs rather than following a strict formula.
Kate has professional and personal experience with neurodiversity and can help people who are exploring autism or Asperger syndrome related issues. She also supports those coping with attachment concerns, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and intellectual disability related matters. People who choose to work with her can expect gentle questioning, practical problem solving and space to tell their story.
The therapist aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to build on what already works for the person. To begin, users follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches shape online work
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk, to name feelings and to build on their existing strengths.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses clear, practical tasks and small experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful reactions.
Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by looking at the stories they tell about their lives. It can be especially useful for addressing identity, shame, blame or repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose methods together. This makes sessions feel collaborative and tailored to what the client needs right now.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Discuss practical preferences during booking so sessions can be arranged in ways that suit everyday life.
