About Kathryn
Kathryn (Kate) Bishop is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and trauma through a respectful and compassionate approach. Kate aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's situation. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and offers steady support as people take steps towards change.
Clients can expect a calm, person-centred style that prioritises listening and understanding. Kate uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the person’s pace and focuses on their concerns rather than imposing a fixed agenda. Sessions are practical and grounded, with attention to everyday challenges such as sleep, eating, and work stress.
Her experience also covers a wide range of concerns including self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, relationship and intimacy-related matters, parenting pressures, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Kate also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and caregiving strain, and supports people coping with chronic illness and bereavement.
She aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected while they talk through difficult feelings. In sessions she helps people build coping strategies and clearer ways to communicate. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that fit into each person’s life and goals.

How Client-Centred Work Fits with Online Therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on the person’s experience and on building a trusting, empathetic relationship. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s pace to help them make sense of difficult emotions and decisions. This approach can suit people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.The core idea is collaborative care. The therapist will work alongside the client to decide which ways of working feel most helpful. Together they will set goals, try out new ways of handling problems, and check in about what is or isn’t working as therapy progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as arranging a meeting during a work break or avoiding travel time. Depending on the options available, some formats can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video if that helps someone engage. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know what will be possible. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt the way they work so therapy fits practical needs and personal preferences.
