Kate Woodall

Kate Woodall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has six years of experience working with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and start to find small, practical steps forward.

She has worked in physical health settings and in a UK hospice offering bereavement counselling, so she is used to helping people who are coping with illness and loss. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a pace they feel able to manage. Kate aims to make early meetings straightforward and reassuring for anyone unsure how therapy works.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods, mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside somatic ideas that pay attention to the body. That blend helps with stress, motivation and making sense of strong emotions. Conversations can include short practical exercises and simple strategies to manage anxiety and low mood.

Kate works to build an honest, respectful relationship and supports people to explore values, life purpose and self-care. She also helps with workplace pressures, communication problems, guilt and caregiver strain. Isolation and loneliness are included among the issues she addresses in sessions.

If you decide to try therapy she asks that you complete the site questionnaire and then arrange a time that suits you. She currently offers sessions during set evening and daytime hours on certain weekdays.

How Kate uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches online

Kate draws on client-centred therapy to keep the focus on what matters to the person in front of her. This means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and pace, with the therapist reflecting and asking questions to clarify what the individual wants to work on.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with strong emotions by teaching short grounding practices and attention exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try methods together in a collaborative way. Changes are paced to what each person can manage and reviewed as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit around work or caregiving, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a weekly routine. Kate’s combination of conversational, mindfulness and body-aware techniques aims to make sessions practical and easy to fold into everyday life.
