About Kate
Kate Reeve is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She supports people who feel stuck, directionless or overwhelmed after life changes. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addiction and career concerns, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and compassion fatigue.
She works in a direct, practical way to help people notice what gets in their path. Sessions look at current coping strategies and which ones are not working. She helps identify personal strengths and talents that may be underused or blocked, and discusses concrete steps to use them more often.
Kate uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That includes acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take action, cognitive behavioural techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and attachment-informed ideas to understand relational patterns. She also draws on emotionally focused and client-centred ways of working when these fit the person’s needs.
Her background includes experience supporting people with domestic violence, complex trauma such as PTSD and C-PTSD, neurodivergence including autism and Asperger syndrome, and care-related stress. She has worked with issues connected to adoption and foster care, abandonment and blended family concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and Polish. Kate asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so she can get a clear sense of current concerns and goals.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. It can be useful for feeling stuck, coping with life changes and making values-led decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tests practical changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. It suits people who want concrete tools to try between sessions.
Attachment-Informed work explores patterns in relationships and how early experiences affect current trust and closeness. It can be helpful when difficulties with intimacy, abandonment or relational control come up.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what seems most helpful based on the person’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current options are listed when you begin the matching process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or health needs, and they allow a focus on brief practical exercises, thought records or values work that suit home study between appointments.
