About Kate
Kate Hough is a counsellor who helps people navigate stressful life moments and difficult emotions. She works calmly and without judgement, supporting people through issues like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship worries.

Her work is person-centred and adaptable. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused conversations when they suit the client’s goals. The aim is to tailor each session to the individual’s needs and to help them feel clearer and more capable.

How Kate adapts therapeutic approaches for online work
Kate draws on person-centred work to build a trusting relationship where clients feel heard and understood. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting back what the client says, and helping them find their own solutions. It often suits people who need space to talk things through without pressure.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small practical changes. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas are also available when emotional regulation skills or distress tolerance techniques are helpful, offering concrete strategies to manage intense feelings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kate will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs, adapting as those needs change. The process is collaborative, with the client guiding what feels useful.
Sessions are offered by phone and video call according to the biography, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so people can focus on the session itself. Registered and accredited professionals can use these formats to deliver tailored support and practical tools that transfer into everyday life.
