About Kathleen
Kathleen Kingsley-Hughes offers support for stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and relationship concerns. She also helps with parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, career changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Kathleen works in a calm, warm and non-judgemental way and focuses on helping people feel seen and accepted as they are.
Kathleen works from a person-centred perspective, which means the client leads the pace and direction of sessions while she listens and reflects.
Background and approach
She uses practical tools and gentle inquiry to help people notice patterns in their thinking, their bodies and their relationships. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices are offered where helpful to support relaxation and change. Her approach pays attention to how past attachments and experiences shape current responses.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns of connection and how they affect trust, communication and emotional safety. Cognitive-behavioural techniques are available too for people who prefer a more structured way of working on thoughts and behaviours. Kathleen combines talking, guided exercises and body-awareness work.
Sessions can include simple breathing and grounding practices, reflective conversation and mindful noticing of physical sensations. She can also work with coaching goals such as motivation, creativity and life transitions. She has six years of professional practice and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential.
Kathleen offers online and remote session options to people in the United Kingdom and carries an empathetic, steady presence for longer-term and short-term work.

Online support
How hypnotherapy, attachment work and client-centred care translate online
Hypnotherapy is offered as a gentle way to access focused attention and deep relaxation. Online hypnotherapy sessions can include guided imagery and suggestions to support changes in habits, sleep and stress responses. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns of relating and how early experiences affect current connections and emotional responses; online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to map those patterns and try new ways of being with others.Client-centred work means the person leads the session while the therapist offers empathic listening and reflection. That approach suits people who want to feel heard and to explore things at their own pace, whether the work is short term or longer term. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try and will adjust the approach to match the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like fitting sessions into busy schedules and avoiding travel time. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to arrange sessions around work, caring duties and daily life while still accessing thoughtful, professional support.
