About Catherine
Her own life experiences have informed her desire to offer compassionate support during challenging times, and she draws on those experiences to help others work through problems and celebrate progress. Trained in the Person-Centred modality, Catherine also uses an integrative style, tailoring evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet each person’s particular needs rather than relying on a single method.
She works with both primary and secondary school children as well as adults, addressing concerns such as anxiety, low mood, depression and bullying, alongside family and workplace issues. Catherine has additional focus on blended family dynamics, communication problems, divorce and separation, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, prejudice and discrimination, self-harm, workplace challenges and young adult issues. She is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and follows their ethical framework to guide practice and professional standards.

Person-Centred and Integrative Approaches for Online Support
Catherine uses a person-centred approach that focuses on empathy, active listening and creating a respectful space where individuals can explore thoughts and emotions at their own pace. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and life transitions by encouraging self-understanding and personal insight. She also practises an integrative style, combining evidence-based techniques as appropriate to the person’s needs - this flexible method allows different strategies to be brought together to address issues such as family conflict, workplace stress and young adult challenges.
Finding the right therapeutic method is a collaborative process. Catherine works with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting the approach over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for their changing needs.
Online therapy with Catherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions around work, school and family life. These options make it easier to access support from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time and allow continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
