Kate Reeve, BACP

Kate Reeve is a compassionate, integrative counsellor who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and life transitions. She works with individuals who feel unseen, overwhelmed or stuck and helps them uncover strengths that may be hidden or blocked by difficult experiences. With a focus on practical change and emotional growth, she guides clients to identify what gets in the way of living more fulfilling lives and to develop ways of using their talents more consciously.

Drawing on an integrative approach, Kate combines evidence-informed methods to tailor therapy to each person’s needs rather than applying a single model for everyone. She has a particular clinical interest in depression, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), trauma including PTSD and complex PTSD, self-esteem concerns, and the impacts of domestic violence. She also brings experience supporting neurodivergent people and those dealing with adoption, attachment difficulties, and abandonment issues.

Kate holds BACP membership - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She offers therapy in English and Polish and accepts international clients, providing flexible appointments by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Kate describes her role as a privilege, finding deep reward in helping people let go of what holds them back and grow toward their full potential.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and develop practical ways to act in line with those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is often helpful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they shape current bonds and emotional responses, supporting healing in relationships, attachment issues and responses to loss or abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and learning practical skills to shift them, which can be effective for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kate works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and will help determine which methods or combination of methods are the best fit for the issues being addressed.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and other commitments and to continue support when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
