Kate approaches therapy with an empathic, collaborative style that suits both short-term and longer-term work. Her integrative method draws primarily on humanistic and psychodynamic perspectives, and she also uses elements of cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused techniques where appropriate.

Kate checks her Better Help messages regularly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during office hours and asks for patience if responses are not immediate while she is attending to other professional or personal commitments.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options
Kate draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotional response - this approach is useful for people struggling with attachment issues, intimacy-related difficulties, or repeated relationship problems. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a humanistic approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for growth - it helps people find their own solutions when dealing with stress, low self-esteem or life changes. In addition, psychodynamic therapy is used to look at unconscious patterns and past experiences that influence present behaviour, which can be helpful for complex emotional issues and recurrent relationship themes.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kate works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. Together they shape the focus and techniques used so that therapy aligns with the client’s priorities.
Online therapy with Kate is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue work while traveling, or access support from a distance, while connecting with registered professionals and therapists who can provide tailored care.
