About Kate

Kate Neligan is a fully qualified integrative psychotherapist based in London who combines clinical training with extensive practice experience. She holds an MA and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which recognises professional standards in the UK.

With 16 years of experience across private practice and work for the NHS, she has supported people presenting with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, anger management, bereavement, trauma, neurodiversity, social anxiety, relationship difficulties and questions around sexuality. That breadth of experience informs a flexible approach to the work and a familiarity with both short-term and long-term therapy.

Her therapeutic style is warm, empathic and collaborative. As an integrative practitioner she draws on humanistic and psychodynamic principles, while also using cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused techniques when they suit a client's goals. Assessment and treatment are tailored to each person, with plans shaped around individual needs, pace and preferences.

She typically checks messages during mid-week office hours and aims to respond as promptly as possible, while balancing other professional and personal commitments. Kate emphasises respect, compassion and a partnership approach in helping people navigate change and build coping strategies.

Approaches That Inform Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and ongoing relationships shape patterns of connection and emotional response; it helps people explore attachment needs, intimacy difficulties and issues around abandonment or relationship distress. Client-Centered Therapy is a humanistic approach that emphasises empathy, acceptance and the client's own capacity for growth; it is often helpful for building self-esteem, managing anxiety or navigating life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns rooted in past relationships and unconscious processes, supporting longer-term insight into family-of-origin issues, recurring relationship problems and deep-rooted emotional difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. Kate works with clients to understand goals, preferences and practical needs, and will adapt methods to suit short-term, problem-focused work or more exploratory, longer-term therapy as required.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be taken by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or when travel is difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, allowing continuity of care and timely support across locations.
