Kate Turner, NCPS

Kate Turner is a person-centred counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She aims to create an accepting, non-judgemental space where each person is treated as a whole. Sessions move at a pace that suits the individual and focus on what the person wants to reclaim or change in their life.

Kate supports people with issues such as stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and workplace pressures. She also helps with relationship concerns, addiction-related problems, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related difficulties. Her additional focus areas include commitment issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Her practice blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she uses psychodynamic ideas where they help make sense of a person’s history. That mix means sessions can be conversational and exploratory, while also including practical steps to try between meetings. Kate encourages collaboration about goals and plans for change.

People who value being listened to and reflected back to will find her style accessible. She avoids labels and works to help people reconnect with who they are. Sessions are intended to help build coping skills, reduce distress, and move towards clearer decision-making about relationships, work and personal values.

Kate welcomes people living in other countries and offers her work in English. To begin, clients complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to her availability.

How Kate's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and the person's own agenda; this approach helps when someone wants a steady, non-judgemental space to understand feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety, panic or low mood and to practise new skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kate will discuss goals and preferences at the start and adapt methods as sessions progress. That means the balance between reflective listening and practical exercises is decided collaboratively to suit each person's needs.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and other commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to join from a location that better suits a person's day. The biography does not list session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking; registered or accredited professionals can explain how they run sessions and what will best fit a client's routine.
