Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kate directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and ACT ideas fit online care
Kate often blends Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories and take values-based steps. Narrative work focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives and helps separate a person from a problem so they can see different possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple skills for noticing thoughts and feelings, choosing actions that match values, and building meaning even when emotions are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide whether Narrative ideas, ACT, CBT, or emotionally focused methods fit best. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching-type support, or ongoing tracking between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other life demands while still using the approaches described above.
