About Kate

Kate Reeve is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with trauma, grief, addictions and career or life changes. Kate also works with people facing parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and relationship concerns. She offers help in English and Polish and practices from the United Kingdom.

Her way of working is flexible and personal. She starts by listening and getting a clear sense of what is hardest right now. Sessions focus on practical steps and simple changes that fit day-to-day life. She aims to help people spot what gets in the way of their strengths and find ways to use those strengths more often.

Kate blends methods from several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-informed ways of working to address emotional patterns and unhelpful behaviours. Therapy can include looking at feelings, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and trying small practical experiments between sessions.

With nine years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she brings steady clinical experience to the room. She has particular interest in trauma, domestic violence, neurodiversity and attachment-related issues. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can make gradual, manageable change.

Kate describes her work as a partnership. She helps people discover and use their talents, reduce what holds them back, and build a life that feels more satisfying.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can help with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-based ways of working focus on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, and can be useful for relationship worries, abandonment issues and some trauma-related struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is a collaboration and can be revisited as therapy progresses.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. In general, online counselling can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to attend from different locations or when juggling work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals adapt exercises, homework and conversation to suit the way each person prefers to meet.
