About Kate
Kate Hough offers a calm, accepting way to talk through difficult feelings and decisions. She welcomes people who are anxious, grieving, overwhelmed by work or parenting, or dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns. Kate uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people feel clearer and more in control.
She often helps with stress, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and issues around eating and sleeping. People also come to her about ADHD, compassion fatigue, and changes in life that feel hard to manage.
Background and approach
Kate pays attention to symptoms and the everyday effects they have on routines and relationships. Her approach mixes client-centred listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. She also draws on emotionally-focused and existential ideas to help people connect with their values and what matters most to them.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and pace. Kate holds an NCPS credential and has eight years of experience working in counselling and psychotherapy. She is based in the United Kingdom and continues professional development to keep her practice current.
Sessions are offered in English. Therapy is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the Start Therapy button.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kate will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to build therapy into a busy life and keep continuity between sessions.
