About Kate Hough
Kate Hough is the founder of Dot's Counselling & Wellbeing and brings a warm, steady presence to people seeking support with relationships, family matters, career concerns, ADHD, stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping issues, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She works collaboratively to build trusting, empowering therapeutic relationships where clients feel genuinely heard and supported rather than judged.
Kate invites clients to explore whatever they feel ready to share - whether those are current challenges, long-held difficulties, or almost-forgotten memories - and stays alongside each person through the process of growth and change. Her approach aims to help clients feel calmer, clearer, and better able to move toward the person they want to be.
She holds a degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), which means she works within that professional ethical framework. She is also associated with the NCPS credential and holds an enhanced DBS disclosure and full insurance to practise. Kate commits to ongoing professional development and tailors every session to the client’s goals and needs so each hour feels purposeful.
Sessions are offered by phone or video call. Note - the timings currently shown in her diary may be inaccurate, so please message to arrange a first session.

Could online therapy fit your life?
Many people ask whether talking with a therapist online can really help. For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the challenges of major life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect in the format that best suits them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide the care, and if a different match is needed it is possible to switch to another therapist. Online work can support ongoing self-reflection, practical coping strategies, and progress toward personal goals in ways that adapt to each person’s life and needs.
