Kate Williams

Kate Williams is a person centred counsellor who qualified in the United Kingdom in 2022 and holds BACP. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and compassion fatigue. Her manner is calm and grounded, and she aims to accompany clients through difficult feelings and thoughts.

She completed 100 hours of voluntary clinical practice during training at a charity supporting people with self-harm and suicidal thoughts. That experience informs how she listens and responds to crisis-related material. Kate emphasises a client-led pace so the person in the room sets the direction of work.

In sessions she focuses on helping people name and sit with emotions. Conversations are down-to-earth and straightforward. She aims to create space for people to make sense of their experiences without pressure to move faster than feels right.

Kate often works with patterns that come from early relationships, such as attachment concerns, abandonment and family of origin issues. She also supports people with eating and food-related issues and challenges that follow caregiving roles or compassion fatigue.

Her style suits people who want a listening, non-judgemental presence while they sort through emotions and behaviours. She will collaborate on goals and on the pace of change. To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the site booking steps and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Client-centred approaches and how they work online

Person centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement. The counsellor offers an accepting, non-directive presence and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps with issues where people need to feel heard and understood, such as anxiety, relationship concerns and eating and food-related issues.

Her way of working is to accompany people through feelings rather than steer them. The process involves exploring emotions and experiences at a pace that feels safe for the client. The therapist and client decide together what to focus on and how to move forward, making the work collaborative.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by saving travel time or allowing sessions during a lunch break. It can also be useful when someone prefers to speak without being on camera or needs a shorter check-in rather than a longer commute.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy and will be reviewed together. The therapist will help assess needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit everyday routines and commitments.
