About Kate
Kate Clare is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse. She supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, anger and depression. Kate also works with clients affected by ADHD and with a wide range of related concerns such as attachment and abandonment worries.
Kate has worked in the UK for five years and is a BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP.
Background and approach
She draws on her professional and personal experience with neurodiversity when it helps the conversation. Her approach starts from the belief that each person is the expert on their own story. In sessions she focuses on listening closely and helping people notice their own strengths.
She uses Narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. She also draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation rooted in what matters most to the client. When practical steps are helpful she may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot patterns and test small changes.
She can also use elements of psychodynamic and solution-focused work to look at long-standing patterns or to set clear, immediate goals. Kate aims to make starting therapy straightforward. She encourages people to take the first step and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what feels hardest right now.

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.

How Narrative and Practical Work Translate Online
Kate uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face and look at the stories that shape their reactions. This approach is useful for relationship worries, identity questions and ongoing patterns that feel stuck. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which places the client's perspective at the heart of the work, offering a listening, non-judgemental space to discuss what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, and may mix Narrative, client-centred and practical CBT-style techniques depending on needs, goals and preferences. This is treated as an ongoing conversation rather than a fixed plan.
Please confirm current session options before booking as the original biography does not specify formats. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or to avoid being on camera if that helps, so practical arrangements can be tailored to everyday life and commitments.
