About Kate

Kate Reeve is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of practice. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, relationship strain and difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with grief, addictions, sleep or eating problems, and the strain of parenting or work changes.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions are practical and conversational. Kate helps people name and sit with hard emotions, notice patterns that hold them back, and try small changes that make daily life more manageable.

Her background includes a focus on trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD, and work with people affected by domestic violence. She has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those dealing with attachment or abandonment issues. She also addresses areas such as caregiver stress, blended family concerns and relationship commitment worries.

Kate aims to help people identify talents and strengths that feel blocked, and to build on those strengths in everyday life. She offers straightforward ways to manage symptoms and cope with change, using talking, behavioural steps and reflective exercises. Sessions are aimed at helping people take practical steps towards feeling more settled and capable.

She works in English and Polish and accepts international clients. Before booking, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session to discuss goals and how to work together.

Approaches used in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and explore powerful emotions and the attachment patterns behind them. It is often used when relationships and strong emotions are central to the problem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on taking value-based actions that matter day to day. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns and how they affect feelings of safety and closeness.

Finding the most helpful approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, experiences and preferences, and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative planning lets sessions be adjusted as needs change.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel. They can allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, avoid the need to travel, and make it simpler to continue work while living in a different place. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use these approaches, can help adapt exercises to the online setting so people can make steady progress in everyday life.
