I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor and I can also offer hypnotherapy privately. My website is milestonetherapies.co.uk. I am based in South West England, just inside Devon, on the border of Cornwall.
My background is in Psychology. I have a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Liverpool, and an MSc. in Social Psychology from the London School of Economics (LSE). Previous roles prior to undertaking professional training as a psychotherapist include being a research psychologist at LSE. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor, overseeing and supporting the work of fellow therapists.
My specialist areas include anxiety (I am an affiliate for Anxiety UK) as well as bereavement (I have worked for Cruse as a support worker and also as a supervisor). In addition, I specialise in confidence and self-esteem issues, which was the subject of my Masters dissertation.
We all feel a little lost at times. Maybe you have had to face changes or challenges that you are finding difficult to deal with. Maybe you need to talk things through with someone impartial like me, who will hold your issues in a confidential, non-judgemental and safe space. Perhaps you need guidance and help in achieving your goals, whatever they may be. Remember that you are not alone. I am here to help you find your way and to live your best life. My style is warm and open.
I have a breadth of training which means I can work in a pluralistic way, using my skills to incorporate whichever techniques will serve you best at any particular time in your counselling journey.
Taking the first step is always the most difficult but please reach out to me and remember that your peace and happiness are worth investing your time in.

Kate has always been available whenever I've needed to speak to her. She is a sympathetic listener and full of practical advice. I would recommend her to anyone seeking clarity and direction.

After my first session I have a good feeling that kate will guide me in the way i need to be going.

Kate is an excellent therapist. She’s an amazing listener, she’s so validating, and she’s been so helpful in supporting me to unpack my trauma, believe in myself more, and feel my feelings. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone who feels they’ve been through a lot and need to talk it through with someone who can help you to recognise the impact that experience has had on you and work through it. She made me feel comfortable really quickly, and based on what I’ve achieved in our sessions so far, I feel really hopeful about the overall progress I can make with her. Thank you for making such a difference Kate

I’ve been so pleased having Kate as my therapist and all of the support she has given me as I work through my past, present and future. She has lovely energy and seems to be very intelligent. I wouldn’t want anyone else as a therapist and I’m grateful that BetterHelp matched us. She seems well-rounded in her understanding of mental health, relationships, personal balance, the way our lives shape us and how we can grow as people. I feel much more empowered in myself after our sessions and I look forward to who I will become in the future as we continue. It is such a beautiful feeling to have someone with whom I can share my thoughts and feelings in a manner that is totally open as she is a third-party and is there to help me. I absolutely recommend her.

Kate has been such a supportive and compassionate therapist. Her guidance has made a real difference for me, and the tools and recommendations she’s given have become part of my daily life. She creates a safe, understanding space and really listens. I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made with her support.

Kate has been a very professional therapist. Kate listened to me and helping me find solutions to my struggles. (Mostly anxiety related issues) I would warmly recommend Kate if you need a kind, knowledgeable therapist, who cares.

Kate is a very good therapist, we still work together for my own improvement on handling my issues. I am very happy with the results in such a short time.

Kate is very professional, very responsive and she helped me a lot during my burnout. I warmly recommend her!

Kate has been really helpful and has been patient and very understanding when I have needed to get things off my chest, I have felt a difference since having sessions with her. She has been amazing.

It has been great to work with Kate. She has been very insightful, kind and respectful. Even after two session I feel more able to manage and respond better to situations.
Written on Aug 30, 2024 after therapy with Kate for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and self esteem
Kate has been so incredibly supportive over the time that I've been having sessions with her. She is always there to listen with a non-judgemental ear and is always kind and understanding in her responses. She has on numerous occasions set up extremely last minute sessions outside of her normal schedule to talk me through crises and provide assistance. I cannot recommend her enough and will genuinely miss chatting to her.

Kate has helped me open up and explore trauma and once discussed I felt a massive weight off my shoulders and left these troubles behind. All thanks to Kate

Kate, understands my feelings and has been able to draw, my thoughts and feelings to the surface, she makes me think about who I am, who I was and is helping me to change my outlook. Kate is really good at what she does and we seem to have a good rapport. I thank her for all the help she is giving me, and bringing back the real me underneath the grief and years of only being a carer. Thank you Kate.

Kate listens as a professional and has the same feeling of talking with a friend. She asks thought provoking questions and is someone I look forward to meeting with on a weekly basis.

Kate listens to me and encourages me to think about myself in an non judgmental way. She helps reframe my words when I am not giving myself credit. Being able to have someone listen and be unbias about my life is very helpful.
Written on Jan 09, 2024 after therapy with Kate for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, and adhd
Kate is an excellent therapist. She listens well, is structured, and has really helped me feel more stable. The only things I sometimes wish more of is an emotional connection or understanding (with the professionalism it feels like she's keeping the emotions low) and sometimes less of giving recommendations. Even with that though, I would recommend her. She knows what she's doing.
Written on Jan 05, 2024 after therapy with Kate for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, anger management, and career difficulties
I am not doing therapy for long with her (3 sessions so far), but from the first moment on I knew she is “the one”. I felt confident talking about my issues and she offered me such a lovely safe space to share them. She is very empathetic and I feel that she supports me a lot. When writing her messages, Kate is always responding very fast. There is no time of the week where I feel neglected by her expertise. Also, during the sessions, no matter what type, Kate keeps the conversation perfectly in balance. I can talk long about my experiences and she knows when to hop in, ask questions and maybe redirect me.
I can really recommend her!

Kate, is incredible. She listens and helps me with my racing mind by supplying ideas, tasks. She also follows up on me doing regular check in, so even when I get lost in my own mind and forget to follow up, she does not. I highly recommend Kate!

Kate Wilson is the most wonderful person I have ever come in contact with. I have only talked to her for about four months but she has changed my life in so many ways. She is so kind, supportive and will be there for you in every way.
Could not recommend anyone more than Kate.
Written on Apr 03, 2023 after therapy with Kate for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, and coping with life changes
I love Kate. She is kind, understanding, never judges and has a variety of tools to offer. My anxiety has improved so much since working with her. Can strongly recommend her ❤️
Written on Feb 04, 2023 after therapy with Kate for 2 weeks on issues concerning adhd
I've seen a lot of therapists over the years (not just on Better Help), and Kate is one of my favourites. I really looked forward to our weekly sessions. I felt that she had a good sense of when to listen and support me, and when to step in with questions and advice, and I always left the sessions feeling a bit better than when I'd gone in. I'm taking a break from Better Help, but when I come back, I hope to work with Kate again. I can definitely recommend her!
Written on Jan 15, 2023 after therapy with Kate for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and adhd
Kate has been so helpful, kind and non-judgemental. She has provided me with loads of information and new skills, and sent me worksheets to work with anxiety, adhd and negative thoughts. It's been a pleasure to be her client and I feel much better even after spending quite limited a time with her!

I got matched to the right therapist for me. Wouldn’t have wanted someone else. Kate has been an amazing listener without any judgements or whatsoever, and has provided me with greatly helpful techniques and skills to handle my depression which I once felt was hopeless.
Written on Nov 05, 2022 after therapy with Kate for 6 days on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, sleeping disorders, and self esteem
Negative experiences with in-person therapy made me very disinclined to return to therapy. My experience with Kate has changed my perspective, and I am so relieved to have been matched with her.
Kate is professional and I feel very comfortable and at ease talking to her. She has provided me with plenty of very useful techniques, worksheets and activities. I don’t feel rushed to make progress or achieve things, which I greatly appreciate.
I would highly recommend Kate Wilson.
