About Kate
Kate Clare is a BACP therapist working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, low self esteem and mood difficulties. She also works with ADHD and a range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries.
She approaches sessions believing clients know their own stories and strengths. That perspective shapes practical conversations about what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Sessions are straightforward and focused on helping people understand patterns, manage impulses, and reduce the moments they regret.
Kate draws on client-centred work to keep the session anchored to the person in front of her. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are sometimes brought in to look at how past experiences influence present reactions.
Solution-Focused techniques are used when a client wants brief, goal-oriented work to shift a specific problem. She has professional and personal experience with neurodiversity and is used to helping people adapt strategies that suit different ways of thinking and processing.
People who come to Kate often want practical ways to handle anger, reduce snap reactions, or stop resentment building up. She guides them in small, manageable steps and helps them test changes between sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. It involves listening without judgement and helping people name what matters to them, which can make it easier to tackle anger and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In brief practical steps it helps people notice automatic reactions, test different responses, and reduce impulsive or angry behaviours.
Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from a problem by re-authoring the stories they tell about their reactions. It can be useful for reshaping shame, blame or long-held patterns that feed anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and together they will choose techniques that suit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as these options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also offer ways to try strategies between meetings and to bring real-life examples into the conversation without needing long commutes.
