About Kate
Kate Woodall is a UK counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience supporting people facing physical health and mental health challenges. Kate commonly helps with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, including practical struggles such as workplace issues and caregiver stress.
She draws on a mix of talking and body-focused approaches. Sessions often begin by clarifying what matters most now and what small steps feel possible. She listens for everyday patterns that make stress and isolation worse, and works with clients to try different ways of responding when old habits get in the way.
Kate has worked in a UK hospice providing bereavement counselling and has experience supporting people living with chronic pain, illness or disability. This background shapes how she talks about loss, practical limits and changing identities after health or life events. Conversations cover both feelings and the practical side of adapting routines or expectations.
Her way of working includes mindful awareness exercises, client-led discussion and gentle body awareness techniques. Motivational interviewing is used to help people weigh options and find small, manageable changes. The aim is to make sessions clear and practical so people can test new approaches between meetings.
If you are uncertain about what comes next after a change in work, relationships or health, Kate offers a steady, straightforward approach to help you explore what matters most now.
How Kate uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what the client brings to the room. It involves listening without steering and helping people name their priorities so they can decide what to try next. This approach is useful for people who feel stuck after life changes and want a space to sort thoughts and feelings.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and notice stress as it arises. These exercises can help with anxiety, overwhelm and low mood by building tolerance for difficult moments and increasing awareness of what influences mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs together and may combine methods to suit the situation. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can change as you try things in between sessions.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as format options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter or focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow practices such as guided mindfulness or gentle somatic awareness to be integrated into a normal day, helping clients experiment with changes between sessions.
