About
Kate Hough is the founder of Dot’s Counselling & Wellbeing and brings eight years of therapeutic experience to her practice. She recognises that finding a counsellor and speaking about difficult feelings can feel daunting, and reassures people that there is very little she has not heard. Whatever concern someone brings - large or small - she works collaboratively to find a way forward that fits the individual.
Kate aims to create trusting, empowering relationships and to provide a safe and confidential space where clients can feel truly heard. She supports exploration of what a person feels ready to share, whether those are current difficulties or experiences that have been buried or nearly forgotten, and she remains alongside clients throughout their journey of growth and change.
At the start of therapy life can feel frightening, lonely and confusing. Kate’s way of working focuses on helping clients feel calmer, clearer and supported so they can move toward becoming the person they want to be. She offers sessions over the phone or by video call.
Kate holds a degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), practising within their ethical framework. She has a current enhanced DBS disclosure and full insurance to practise. Kate is passionate about ongoing professional development and tailors each session to meet the client’s needs and goals so every hour together is used purposefully.
She works with relationship, family, career and coaching concerns, and supports clients with ADHD, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes - online therapy can be just as effective as face-to-face counselling. Research and practice indicate that remote sessions often deliver meaningful benefits for these issues.
One major advantage is flexibility. People can choose the way of connecting that suits them best, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from wherever is most convenient.
All participating professionals are licensed and trained, and individuals may change therapists at any time if they feel a different match would be better. For many, remote therapy provides a practical, accessible route to support and progress.
