About Kate
Kate Neligan is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 16 years' experience. She has a background in integrative psychotherapy and has worked in both private practice and NHS settings. She helps people with a wide range of concerns, including anger, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
She works in a practical, collaborative way. Sessions can be short-term problem solving or longer term reflection, depending on what a person needs. Kate combines humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with solution-focused techniques to suit the situation.
In conversation she pays attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. That can help when anger links to attachment, loss, control issues or family of origin problems. She also draws on client-centred listening to help people feel heard while thinking through change.
People come to her for immediate coping strategies and for understanding why certain responses keep happening. She uses small, manageable steps when people want different ways of reacting at work or at home. Practical tools and short exercises are part of the work when they fit the plan.
Her practice also covers grief, trauma, addictions, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting worries, ADHD-related challenges and career questions. If someone is international and comfortable working in English, Kate accepts international clients. To arrange sessions a person follows the online matching and booking process on the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kate uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect present reactions. That approach helps when anger seems tied to fear of abandonment or to repeated relationship dynamics. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what someone says, which supports building clearer self-understanding and calmer responses. Psychodynamic elements explore recurring patterns and unconscious influences so people can see why certain triggers feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kate will work with each person to decide whether brief solution-focused steps or deeper psychodynamic reflection fits their goals. The choice is based on needs, timing and what the person wants to change, and can be reviewed as work progresses.
The biography does not list which session formats are currently offered, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity if someone moves or travels internationally. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like brief exercises, reflective conversation and practical coping tools to remote sessions to help manage anger in everyday life.
