Kate Wilson, NCPS

Kate Wilson is an NCPS psychotherapist and counsellor with ten years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers private hypnotherapy in addition to counselling. Her work covers stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions and anger among other areas.

Kate trained in psychology, holding a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics. She previously worked as a research psychologist at LSE and now combines clinical practice with qualified clinical supervision for other therapists. She is an affiliate for Anxiety UK and has experience supporting bereavement through work with Cruse.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. Sessions are client-centred and she often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She can also offer hypnotherapy when that fits a person's aims.

In sessions she listens without judgement and uses a mix of approaches to match what is helpful at the time. That might mean working on unhelpful thinking patterns, practising present-moment skills, or using motivational conversation to support change. She has particular experience with confidence and self-esteem issues, which was the topic of her master's dissertation.

People come to Kate when life changes become hard to manage, when anger or persistent worry gets in the way, or when they need support through bereavement and other losses. She also supports people dealing with relationships, career pressures, parenting strain and complications around fertility, illness or end-of-life care.

If you want to begin, the usual step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
