Kate Mollison, BACP
About me
I am a registered therapist in the UK with over 23 years professional counselling experience in a wide range of settings ;
from solution focused therapy in employee assistance programmes, Cognitive Behavioural therapy within the NHS, to a mindfulness and more Compassion focussed therapy approach in my private practise.
Over the years I have helped thousands of individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, trauma, grief and coming to terms with illness;
Every single one of my clients is unique - in how they were brought up, the situations life has thrown at them, how they deal or cope with these situations; And key to success in therapy is not applying a one sized fits all approach - I believe that one of the important jobs of therapy is to honour each individual and explore gently together unhelpful patterns, of thoughts/ feelings/ behaviours that are getting in the way of a more fulfilling life ;
My approach is an 'Integrated' one - which means I work with many different modalities of therapy; person centred, which focuses on building a relationship, being accepting, open, honest and non judgemental; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; which provides a framework, a vocabulary and tools to help in situations; Mindfulness and breathing techniques to help self regulate; Compassion Focussed therapy, as many of us can be our own worst critics, and need to learn to be our own best friends, or at least be a bit kinder to ourselves;
I am based in Glasgow; Scotland; however I have travelled extensively, and lived and worked in many different countries and cultures. I am open, curious and passionate about helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing; - I am always reading or listening to podcasts, going on courses, to explore new approaches that can help my clients and myself work more effectively as a therapist.
I look forward to working with you.

Kate has been really helpful and a great support to me in the time I have used Betterhelp. She has supported me and helped me learn really important coping skills and techniques to help me get through the times that are tough and learn how to be a little kinder to myself. I would recommend Kate to anyone she is an asset to the Betterhelp team.
