About Kate
BACP counsellor with 16 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. Kate Neligan works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She uses a mix of psychodynamic, attachment-based and solution-focused ideas alongside client-centred practice.
Kate trained to postgraduate level, including an MA and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. She practised for over ten years in private practice and has also worked for the NHS. This background informs both short-term and longer-term work.
Her sessions are collaborative. She listens to what a person wants to change and discusses ways forward together. Sessions can combine talking about past patterns with practical steps to manage day-to-day stress and emotional reactions.
Kate often draws on attachment-based thinking to understand relationship struggles and long-standing patterns. She uses client-centred methods to keep the focus on the person in front of her, and psychodynamic ideas where past experience seems linked to current difficulties.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns including bereavement, trauma, addiction-related issues, parenting strain, ADHD-related difficulties, body image and eating concerns, anger and career stress. She also works with intimacy-related issues, fertility and blended family matters.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. Confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches inform online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. Online sessions can be used to look at patterns of closeness, trust and boundary-taking, and to practise different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centred practice keeps the person's experience central. In conversation the counsellor reflects what she hears and follows what matters most to the client, which helps people clarify priorities and make practical choices. Psychodynamic ideas examine how past experiences influence current behaviour and feelings. This can be useful for long-standing difficulties such as recurring relationship problems, persistent anxiety or issues rooted in family of origin patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree on a way of working together. This collaborative process can mean combining short-term practical steps with deeper reflective work. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, allow shorter check-ins where useful, and reduce travel time so people can attend from different locations.Sheet 3
