About Catherine
Catherine Cassells is a counsellor who uses an integrative, person-centred approach to support people through stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She aims to help people make small, practical changes that feel achievable. Catherine communicates in plain language and works alongside clients to find what helps them most.
Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred principles. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, noticing core values and taking steps that match what matters to the person.
Background and approach
Catherine also brings existential ideas when people are facing big life questions or midlife reevaluation. She has three years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as a professional credential. Catherine works with common concerns such as parenting stress, blended family issues, separation and communication problems.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, guilt, shame and feelings of isolation. Practical matters are discussed alongside emotional concerns. Catherine uses motivational interviewing techniques to help clients find their own reasons to change.
Therapy sessions can include skills from narrative therapy to reframe difficult stories and reduce self-blame. People can expect a warm, straightforward style that focuses on what they want to achieve. Catherine accepts clients in English and is available to work with international clients.
Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and situations where someone wants clearer direction rather than just fewer symptoms.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours influence one another and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problem-solving around relationships or daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss options and try different methods to see what fits the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client review what helps and adjust as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking.
Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to fit sessions into busy schedules, work breaks or when travel is difficult. The range of options makes it easier to keep continuity of care across locations and time zones.
