Kate Stillman has a BA Honours degree, PG Diploma in Counselling, LCON, and is SFEDI accredited.

Her experience includes working with young people, helping clients with anxiety, depression, self esteem and confidence and relationship problems. She also has extensive professional experience of domestic violence, bereavement, sexuality and personal growth, and has assisted on a needle exchange, working with young entrepreneurs and people who are HIV positive.

In addition Kate has specialist knowledge and experience of working with people in the entertainment and media fields and was previously a Case Manager & Team Leader for Bupa Psychological Services.

Though she qualified on a Person Centred and Existential training course, Kate avoids pigeon-holing herself into any particular "school" or modality. In this way she maintains the ability and openness to take what she sees as the best or most appropriate parts of a broad selection of theories in given circumstances.

Kate currently practices as an English-language therapist on the island of Ibiza, and provides long distance counselling clients in Britain and elsewhere by telephone and on the internet. She also writes a fortnightly column for the English-language newspaper 'The Ibiza Sun'.  Her column appears on this blog.
