Kate Mollison

Kate Mollison is a counsellor with more than 24 years of professional experience in the UK. She trained and practised across different services, and now offers an integrated approach that draws on several therapy methods. Kate works in a warm, non-judgemental way and focuses on what each person brings to the room.

Her day-to-day work has included employee assistance programmes and the NHS, and she currently uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches. Those influences shape practical tools people can try between sessions, such as breathing exercises and thought records.

Kate emphasises building a trusting relationship first. She avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and works alongside people to spot unhelpful patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Therapy sessions are conversational and grounded in real-life problems.

She has supported people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and long-term illness, among other concerns. Kate also lists areas such as addiction, relationship strain, parenting pressures and ADHD as matters she helps address.

Originally based in Glasgow, Scotland, she has lived and worked in a number of countries and cultural settings. Kate keeps up with new ideas by attending courses and learning from current literature and podcasts. She aims to help people find small, sustainable changes that improve daily life.

How Kate’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful relationship and listening carefully to what matters to each person. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer thinking about a problem, or support in making decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives a straightforward framework and practical tools. It helps people notice patterns of thinking, test those thoughts and try small experiments to change behaviours related to anxiety, low mood or stress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It is useful for stress, sleep problems and learning to step back from difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use, based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new issues come up.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online working can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins where needed. It can also mean adapting exercises so they suit the everyday places people use for their sessions.
