About Kate
Kate Mollison is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with more than 24 years' experience. She has worked in a range of settings, including employee assistance programmes, the NHS, and private practice. Kate focuses on helping people make sense of anxiety, depression, loss and life changes in a straightforward, practical way.
Her work begins with building a respectful relationship. She listens without judgement and helps clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour that get in the way of feeling better. Therapy is shaped around the person rather than a fixed method, and sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each individual.
Kate draws on several practical approaches. She uses person-centred methods to prioritise an open, honest therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers tools and language to manage difficult thoughts and reactions. Mindfulness and breathing techniques are used to help people regulate strong feelings and reduce stress.
She also integrates solution-focused ideas to set achievable steps and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm needs careful attention. Kate describes her overall style as curious and compassionate, helping people move from self-criticism toward more kindness to themselves.
Based in Glasgow, she has worked across different cultures and settings and continues professional learning through courses and reading. People who want a practical, steady approach to common difficulties such as anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction or coping with long-term illness may find her way of working helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work
Kate uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people recognise unhelpful thought patterns and try practical experiments to change reactions. CBT gives a clear framework and tools that can be practised between sessions to manage anxiety, depression and stress.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing and awareness techniques. These practices help calm strong emotions, improve sleep and reduce rumination in everyday life.
Finding the right approach happens together. Kate will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adapt her mix of listening, practical exercises and short-term tasks to suit each person. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family or work commitments, reduce travel time and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be harder. It can also make practising breathing and CBT tasks at home easier to carry over into daily routines.
