About Kate
Kate Woodall is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood and offers calm, practical support to help them take the next steps. Her approachable manner is aimed at making a difficult first step feel more manageable.
She draws on six years of experience working with people facing both physical health and mental health challenges. That includes a period providing bereavement counselling at a UK hospice.
Background and approach
Her background helps when supporting people through loss, chronic illness, caregiving strain and major life changes. Sessions focus on helping people make sense of what they are feeling and finding small, realistic ways to cope. Kate uses an approach that listens closely to each person and pays attention to how the body holds stress and emotion.
She works collaboratively to set practical goals and gently build confidence. Kate uses client-centred conversation alongside mindfulness practices, somatic awareness and motivational interviewing techniques. These approaches are used to increase self-understanding, reduce rumination, and improve day-to-day coping.
The work is paced to suit each person’s needs and priorities. She explains things in plain language and aims for an open, non-judgemental space. Practical matters such as scheduling are explained clearly and sessions follow whatever rhythm best supports the person’s progress.
Working with body awareness and practical strategies online
Kate commonly uses somatic awareness to help people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body. This involves simple bodily checks, breathing and movement to help people ground themselves and reduce physical tension. She also uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening and following the person’s lead to help them feel heard and understood.Mindfulness is another key strand in her practice, offering short, accessible exercises to reduce rumination and increase present-moment focus. Together these approaches can help with anxiety, grief, low mood and coping with long-term health issues. The therapist will work collaboratively to find which mix of techniques fits best for each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy gives flexibility to use video, phone, live chat or text messaging depending on what feels easiest. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, while phone and messaging options suit people who prefer less visual contact or need more asynchronous support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and health limitations while still receiving consistent, structured help.
