About Kate
Kate Mollison is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience. She has worked across NHS settings, employee assistance programmes and private practice. Her work covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions and anger among other concerns.
Kate uses a mix of practical methods rather than a single fixed model. Sessions often include talking things through, spotting unhelpful patterns and trying small, concrete changes. She emphasises clear tools from cognitive behavioural work alongside person-centred listening and mindfulness techniques to help manage strong feelings.
Her background includes CBT work within the NHS and solution-focused work in workplace settings. She also draws on mindfulness and compassion-focused ideas in private practice to help people work on harsh self-criticism and build steady coping skills. Trauma-focused approaches are used where relevant to address past hurt and its ongoing effects.
Clients can expect straightforward language and short practical exercises as part of sessions. Kate aims to help people understand triggers, recognise thought and behaviour cycles, and practise skills such as breathing and grounding to reduce intensity when anger or overwhelm build.
She is based in Glasgow and has experience working with people from several cultures and locations. To begin, clients follow the site’s matching process and schedule a first session, then decide together how to move forward.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kate commonly uses client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on building a collaborative, respectful relationship and helps people talk through what matters most to them. CBT provides a framework and practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes that reduce emotional intensity.She also uses mindfulness techniques to support emotional regulation, such as simple breathing and grounding exercises. These help when anger rises, allowing someone to reduce intensity and choose a different response rather than react automatically.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative adjustment continues as progress is made and needs change.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by avoiding travel time, enabling shorter check-ins at lunch breaks, or offering a quieter setting with less focus on camera use. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally find these practical benefits help people keep momentum with their work.
