Kate Greenwood

Hello, my name is Kate and I’m a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT therapist) with previous experience as a mental health nurse. I offer a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate place to explore your thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

Whether you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stressed, we can work together to help you to move forward. I’ll work with you at your pace, always leading with empathy and compassion. 

CBT for Anxiety, PTSD, Low Self-Esteem and Stress

I work with clients who are struggling with Anxiety (including Social Anxiety, Health Anxiety, General Anxiety Disorder - GAD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder – OCD, Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD), Low Self-Esteem and Stress. I offer sessions online using CBT, and also use newer approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT),  Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Mindfulness. I focus on a relational approach, which means building up a relationship with empathy and compassion, so that we can work collaboratively to ensure you can reach your therapy goals. 

Neurodivergent Affirming

I have further training in adapted CBT, which means I can offer tailored sessions to address the needs of neurodivergent adults, including those with ADHD and Autistic traits. I have traits of ADHD and Autism myself, so I understand that you don't have to have an official diagnosis, you know yourself better than anyone.

For ADHD, that might include tools for focus, motivation or managing procrastination.

For Autism, we don't treat the Autism, instead we take a creative approach to CBT techniques to help with symptoms such as anxiety, low self-esteem or low mood.  

LGBTQIA+ Affirming

As a gay woman, I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ Community and I am passionate about supporting people from the community who may be struggling with Anxiety or Low Self-Esteem. I provide a safe place where you can bring all parts of yourself without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. You are safe with me. 

Drawing from my own personal experience, I offer empathetic and tailored online CBT sessions which are neurodivergent friendly and LGBTQIA+ affirmative.  

How online CBT Therapy works

I currently offer online CBT sessions, so you can access support from the comfort of your own home. I am based in the East Midlands so have a good knowledge of Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Loughborough, however I can work with anyone in the UK.  

In our first sessions, we’ll explore what’s going on for you and clarify your goals for therapy. From there, we’ll begin to identify patterns in your thinking and behaviour that may be keeping you stuck, which also involves looking at how your past is impacting the here and now. I’ll support you in learning practical coping strategies and tools grounded in evidence-based CBT to help you manage the challenges you may be facing. 

As the sessions are tailored to you and we work collaboratively, this means that we go at your pace. 

Getting in contact

If you’re looking for online CBT for Anxiety, Low-Self-Esteem, ADHD or Autism, then please get in touch. I know it can be scary to take that first step, so you can contact me before booking in for a free 15 minute call or videocall, you can e-mail me with any questions or to book straight in or you can visit my website for more information.

Reviews

Client with OCD - I don't really know where to start!!! Kate is an amazing therapist and I genuinely can't thank her enough for everything she has done for me throughout my journey with OCD. From the very first session, I felt truly heard, understood and never judged. Thanks to Kate's guidance, I've made progress that I never thought was possible and my life has been better with her there. I literally call her my real-life fairy godmother! She is compassionate, patient and always there if I require more support. I could not recommend Kate enough.

Client with Generalised Anxiety Disorder - I cannot recommend Kate highly enough. She is without doubt, the most supportive and effective therapist I've ever worked with. From the very first session, her warmth and empathy made me feel seen, understood, and completely safe. She has a unique ability to deeply listen while also offering clear, insightful guidance. What truly sets her apart is how adaptable and intuitive she is, always finding the right approach or tool that fits the moment and the person in front of her. Her energy is genuinely uplifting - a calm, contagious positivity that creates a space where real growth feels possible. She is also incredibly flexible and accommodating which has been invaluable during more challenging times. If you're looking for someone who combines professional excellence with heartfelt care, Kate is a rare gem. I feel incredibly grateful to have found her.

Client with OCD and ADHD - Kate has been a massive help to me in my life, and I thoroughly recommend her. Her approach is incredibly kind, patient, thoughtful, and non-judgmental, which has been especially helpful for me as a man - I know I can be a bit of a character. I was first referred to Kate following my ADHD diagnosis. Since then, she has not only helped me navigate the journey of managing it, but has also guided me through dealing with my OCD. She’s been there for me during some of the hardest times in my life, including the loss of my mum which has been extremely challenging. She uses different treatment methods to tailor to her patients but her “ACT” method has been the right one for me. Best therapist!

I am a CBT therapist with further training in Compassionate Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness which we can integrate into the sessions to support you further. I also have further training in Neurodiversity and can offer adapted CBT for people diagnosed or who feel they may be Autistic or have ADHD.

I charge £70 for online sessions, if you are a student we can discuss a further discount for sessions.

I am proud to support the LGBTQIA+ community and I ensure that I keep up to date on all relevant information that may be affecting members of the community.
