Kate Mollison , BACP

Kate Mollison is a UK-registered therapist with 24 years of professional counselling experience across a wide range of settings. Her practice has included solution-focused work within employee assistance programmes, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) delivered in NHS settings, and mindfulness together with compassion-focused methods in private practice. She holds BACP membership, which denotes a recognised professional counselling association in the United Kingdom.

Throughout her career she has supported many people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, and the psychological effects of illness. She approaches each person as an individual - shaped by upbringing, life events, and the ways they cope - and avoids a one-size-fits-all model. Therapy for her involves gently exploring unhelpful patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour and working collaboratively to find practical, meaningful change.

Her work is integrated, drawing on person-centred principles that prioritise a trusting therapeutic relationship, CBT techniques that offer tools and a clear framework for managing thoughts and behaviours, and mindfulness and breathing practices to aid self-regulation. Compassion-focused elements help those who are self-critical to develop greater self-kindness. Based in Glasgow, Scotland, she has lived and worked in a number of countries and cultures and remains committed to ongoing learning to enhance her practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting therapeutic relationship where the client's experience is heard and valued. It helps people who want to explore self-esteem, relationships, identity, and emotional processing in a non-directive way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools and a clear framework to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing techniques to support better emotional regulation and present-moment awareness, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and managing intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work; Kate Mollison collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and modes of communication, allowing clients and licensed professionals to work together in the way that suits them best.
