About Kate
Kate Reeve is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and problems rooted in trauma and abuse. She supports those struggling with self-esteem, addictions, sleep or eating issues, and practical life strains like career change, parenting and compassion fatigue. Kate speaks English and Polish and practises from the United Kingdom.
She aims to help people notice what gets in the way of their strengths. Kate uses narrative ideas alongside other approaches to help clients tell their story in a different way.
Background and approach
That can make it easier to spot unhelpful patterns and to try small changes that feel manageable. Sessions are conversational and grounded. Kate listens closely and asks questions that help redirect attention from blame to choice.
She blends client-centred ways of working with methods drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to help people take workable steps forward. Kate has nine years' experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her background includes supporting people affected by domestic violence, complex trauma and neurodivergence, and she has practical experience in those areas. People often come to Kate when coping strategies no longer help, or when life changes feel overwhelming. She encourages a paced approach - small experiments, clearer values and more flexible ways of responding.
The emphasis is on what clients want to change and how they want their life to look next.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kate directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Kate often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from difficult problems by retelling life events in new ways. This approach can help with issues like low self-worth, identity questions and patterns that repeat in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another element she uses; it focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, workable steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Attachment-Based ideas are used when relationships and early patterns affect current coping, helping people notice how past bonds shape present choices and emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kate collaborates with each person to see what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She may try a narrative exercise one week, then draw on ACT or cognitive techniques the next, depending on what helps the client move forward. The plan evolves together rather than being fixed in advance.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial expression and tone during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, want to reflect before answering, or need support that fits around work and childcare. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
