I worked with Kate for 6 months in the frontline crisis service. Kate is a very competent clinician, she is kind, compassionate and calm in her approach. She is an active listener and shown great ability adapting her counselling style to suit the needs of others. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Kate has been an excellent member of the 111 team and has taken to helping clients with a wide array of difficulties as though it is second nature. She has a compassionate yet goal-orientated approach which would benefit anyone who chooses her as their counsellor.
Kate has demonstrated a real commitment and passion to provide support and person centred care to each individual that has called in crisis. She has a friendly and warm approach and is able to draw upon a wide range of skills to tailor this to individual needs, ensuring that people feel heard, reassured and have the right tools / steps to move forward with their lives.
I had the privilege of working alongside Kate for a year, and in that time I quickly came to appreciate her passion for her work and the genuine care she shows her clients. Our role could be mentally and emotionally demanding, yet Kate remained a steady, grounding presence. Her ability to listen with empathy, offer thoughtful insight, and stay calm under pressure made her an integral part of my support system. She approaches each person with compassion and curiosity, helping clients feel at ease and truly seen. Anyone seeking support would be in very capable hands with Kate.
