Kate Wilson , NCPS

Kate Wilson is an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor practising in the United Kingdom, based in South West England just inside Devon on the border of Cornwall. She also offers hypnotherapy in a private capacity and maintains a professional website at milestonetherapies.co.uk. Kate holds the NCPS, a professional psychotherapy credential, and brings a background in psychology to her clinical work with a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool and an MSc in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics (LSE). Her early career included work as a research psychologist at LSE, and she is a qualified clinical supervisor who supports the work of fellow therapists.

Her specialist interests include anxiety - she is an affiliate for Anxiety UK - and bereavement, having worked for Cruse as both a support worker and a supervisor. Confidence and self-esteem are further areas of focus, informed by her Master’s dissertation. In practice she works with a broad range of concerns such as stress, depression, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, parenting challenges, career issues and compassion fatigue, among others.

Kate describes her therapeutic style as warm and open. She works in a pluralistic way, drawing on a range of methods and tailoring techniques to each person’s needs, and she can incorporate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques where appropriate. She invites people who are facing change, loss or difficult decisions to reach out and take a first step toward well-being, noting that she is currently accepting clients.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Kate Wilson

Kate draws on a selection of evidence-informed approaches to support people with a range of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward valued life goals - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact; it offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore and make sense of their experience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kate works collaboratively with each person to identify the mix of methods that best fits their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy with Kate is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life and access therapeutic support from Kate while remaining in the client’s home or local environment.
