Kate Mollison , BACP

Kate Mollison is a UK-registered therapist with 24 years of professional counselling experience across a variety of settings. She combines work from employee assistance programmes, NHS-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and a private practice focus that includes mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches. She is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Throughout her career she has supported thousands of people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and challenges associated with illness. She approaches each person as unique, recognising differences in upbringing, life events and coping styles, and rejects a one-size-fits-all model. Instead she gently explores recurring patterns of thought, emotion and behaviour alongside clients to help them move toward a more fulfilling life.

Her work is integrated, drawing on person-centred practice to build a trusting relationship, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to offer practical tools and a shared vocabulary, and mindfulness and breathing techniques to support emotional regulation. She also uses compassion-focused ideas to help people become kinder to themselves when self-criticism is a barrier to progress.

Based in Glasgow, Kate has lived and worked in multiple countries and cultures, and maintains an active interest in ongoing professional learning through reading, courses and podcasts. She is open, curious and committed to helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing, and she looks forward to working with individuals ready to explore change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-centred therapy emphasises the relationship between therapist and client, offering acceptance, empathy and understanding as the foundation for change. It helps people explore identity, self-esteem and relational concerns while feeling heard and respected.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides a clear framework to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It offers practical tools and strategies that can be applied to anxiety, low mood, stress and a range of everyday difficulties.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple present-moment awareness and breathing techniques to help manage reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These practices can support people dealing with stress, worry and difficulties with sleep or concentration.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kate works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as work progresses so the plan remains tailored and relevant.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around work, family and other commitments. These formats offer flexibility and choice, allowing people to work with licensed professionals and therapists in ways that suit their daily lives.
