Kate Mollison , BACP

Kate Mollison is a registered therapist in the United Kingdom with over 23 years of professional counselling experience across a wide range of settings. She has delivered solution-focused work within employee assistance programmes, provided Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in NHS services, and developed mindfulness and compassion-focused approaches in private practice. She is accredited with the BACP, which reflects her professional standing within the counselling field.

Across her career she has supported thousands of people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and adjustment to illness. Kate approaches each person as an individual - shaped by upbringing, life events and coping styles - and rejects a one-size-fits-all model. Her work emphasises listening, respect and collaboration while gently exploring unhelpful patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours that interfere with a more satisfying life.

Her integrated practice draws on person-centred principles to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for practical tools and structure, and mindfulness and breathing techniques to aid emotional regulation. She also incorporates compassion-focused ideas to help people develop a kinder inner stance toward themselves.

Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Kate has lived and worked in a variety of countries and cultures and remains committed to ongoing professional learning through reading, courses and other training to enhance her practice and better support those she works with.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person feels heard and accepted. It helps when someone needs space to explore feelings, clarify values and build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers a practical framework and concrete tools to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to practise new responses. It is often used for problems such as anxiety, low mood and stress where structured strategies can make a difference.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple exercises such as breathing techniques to help manage stress and regulate emotions. These skills can support better coping during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kate works collaboratively with each person and with licensed professionals where appropriate to determine which methods best match a client’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as the work progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of support across locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists to adapt session style and tools to what works best for each individual.
