Kate Lacy , NCPS

Kate Lacy is a UK-based therapist with 25 years of professional experience and holds NCPS, a recognised professional counselling credential. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, challenges with motivation, and concerns about self-esteem and confidence.

Kate approaches each person as the expert on their own life, looking for strengths that can be brought into therapy to help overcome current obstacles. She values the courage it takes to seek a more satisfying and happier life and treats that step as an important part of change. Her role is to provide support, encouragement, and practical tools to help clients move forward.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful, empowering space where clients can explore goals, build resilience, and develop new ways of coping. Kate offers attentive listening and collaborative guidance to help people identify priorities and take the next steps toward meaningful progress.

Approaches Kate Uses and Online Therapy Options

Kate integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address emotional and relational difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that develop from early bonds and how those patterns affect current relationships and intimacy, helping clients work through feelings such as abandonment or insecurity. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, offering empathic, nonjudgmental support that encourages self-discovery, confidence, and internal motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develops practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kate works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and together they determine which techniques and perspectives fit best. That collaborative stance aims to tailor therapy to each person rather than applying a single method to every situation.

Online therapy with Kate can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and fit therapy into a busy life, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to adapt sessions to each client’s needs.
