Let’s Connect
Kate – MBACP Counsellor | Lancashire | Online Therapy
Hello, I’m Kate, a warm and relational MBACP counsellor based in Lancashire, offering online counselling to adults across the UK.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure what you need, you’re not alone. Life can affect us in unexpected ways, impacting our relationships, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. Therapy can offer a gentle space to pause, breathe, and begin to make sense of what’s happening within you.
A Safe, Supportive Space to Explore What You’re Feeling
My intention is to offer a calm, safe, and steady therapeutic relationship. I work at your pace, alongside you, helping you explore your emotions in a way that feels manageable, respectful, and supportive.
My work is grounded in person-centred counselling and attachment-informed therapy. At the heart of this approach is a belief that you are the expert in your own life. Therapy is not about being analysed or fixed, but about being met with warmth, curiosity, and genuine care.
You don’t need to understand attachment theory to begin therapy. Many people come feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Together, we gently explore what sits beneath your feelings and reactions, supporting greater understanding, compassion, and choice.
Attachment-Informed and Trauma-Informed Counselling
Attachment-informed counselling offers a kind and non-judgemental way to understand emotional needs, triggers, and relational patterns. It can help make sense of how early relationships and life experiences continue to shape how you relate to others and to yourself today.
My practice is also trauma-informed, meaning emotional safety, choice, and pacing are always prioritised. You never have to retell or relive traumatic experiences for therapy to be helpful. We work in a way that supports your nervous system to feel steadier, safer, and more supported.
What I Can Support You With
I support adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties, including:
-
Anxiety and emotional overwhelm
-
Depression and low mood
-
Relationship difficulties
-
Trauma and adverse life experiences
-
Grief and loss
-
Stress and burnout
-
Addiction and recovery
-
Low self-esteem, trust, or communication difficulties
-
Experiences linked to autism, particularly in girls and women
Many people I work with notice patterns such as difficulty asking for help, fear of being “too much” or “not enough,” anxiety around closeness or distance, shutting down during conflict, or feeling responsible for others’ emotions. These experiences are deeply human, and we explore them with warmth and without judgement.
Online Counselling That Fits Your Life
All sessions take place online via a secure video platform. Many people find online therapy flexible, accessible, and comfortable, allowing them to choose a space where they feel safe and at ease. Online counselling is confidential and just as effective as in-person therapy.
My Experience and Approach
Alongside my private practice, I work within an Adult Hospital Discharge Team, supporting individuals during periods of transition, vulnerability, and uncertainty. I have also worked across addiction services, NHS and charitable organisations, and with individuals affected by trauma, homelessness, safeguarding concerns, and severe mental health difficulties.
I am committed to ongoing professional development, supervision, and reflective practice. My approach integrates attachment theory, person-centred therapy, psychodynamic perspectives, developmental psychology, neuroscience, mentalisation-based approaches, and trauma-informed care.
Clients often describe me as warm, steady, and approachable, helping them feel understood and supported from the very beginning.
Starting Therapy
Your first session is simply a conversation. It’s a chance for us to meet, explore what you’re looking for, and consider how counselling might support you. There is no pressure to share more than feels right. We take things step by step.
Coming to therapy is an act of courage. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, you’re very welcome to reach out. You don’t have to carry everything on your own.
Together, we can explore your emotional world with care, compassion, and respect.
