Kate Mollison , BACP

Kate Mollison is a BACP-registered therapist in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional counselling experience across a variety of settings including employee assistance programmes, the NHS and private practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which reflects adherence to a recognised UK professional body and standards.

Throughout her career she has worked with large numbers of people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and the challenges of coping with illness. Kate emphasises that every person arrives with a unique background, life story and coping style, and she places importance on avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions. Therapy, in her view, is about honouring individuality and gently exploring patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour that may be limiting a more fulfilling life.

Her practice is integrative, combining person-centred work to build a trusting therapeutic relationship with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to offer practical frameworks and tools. She also draws on mindfulness and breathing techniques to support emotional regulation and uses compassion-focused methods to help reduce harsh self-criticism. Where appropriate she incorporates solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches to respond to specific needs.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Kate has lived and worked in multiple countries and cultures and remains committed to ongoing professional development through reading, podcasts and training to refine her clinical skills and support her work as a therapist.

Integrative approaches for effective online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client is heard and understood. This approach helps people gain clarity about their feelings and fosters self-directed change by creating a safe space for exploration.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and goal-oriented, often useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that maintain distress.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to improve emotional regulation and reduce reactivity. These practices can help with stress, worry and managing overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process; Kate works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences and to choose or adapt methods that feel like the best fit. The therapist-client relationship guides those choices and can change as the work progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographical constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, accessible support and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while maintaining therapeutic continuity.
