About Kate Williams
Kate Williams is a client-centered therapist who qualified in the United Kingdom in 2022 and has three years of professional experience. She trained with a strong practical focus, completing 100 hours of voluntary clinical work at a charity supporting people who experience self-harming behaviours and suicidal thoughts. That hands-on placement informed her calm, grounded way of working and her commitment to accompanying people through difficult feelings and experiences.
Her practice is led by the individual in therapy - she offers a supportive presence rather than directing outcomes, helping clients to explore emotions, thoughts, and relationships at their own pace. Kate is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to recognised professional standards in the United Kingdom.
Specialising in areas such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and compassion fatigue, she also works with related concerns including attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin problems. Her approach emphasises empathy, respect, and a steady therapeutic presence to help clients navigate change and build coping resources.

Client-Centered Support and Online Therapy Options
Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Kate Williams's practice. This approach focuses on offering an empathetic, non-directive space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions while the therapist provides reflective support and understanding. It is well suited to people working through stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, and recovery from trauma.
Alongside that core approach, Kate brings a steady, compassionate listening stance that helps people feel accompanied through intense emotions and difficult memories. This client-led orientation supports exploration of attachment, family of origin issues, and coping patterns without imposing a fixed agenda.
Finding the right therapeutic style is a collaborative process. Kate works with each person to identify which methods and pace feel most helpful, adjusting the focus as goals and needs evolve. For many clients, online therapy offers practical advantages - sessions by video call or phone allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, real-time options for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These formats make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life, while still allowing registered professionals to offer consistent, ongoing support.
