Catherine Foster
Person-centred counsellor offering calm, practical support
About Catherine
Catherine Foster is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She uses a person-centred approach and aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard. Catherine listens carefully and helps people find their own way forward at a pace that suits them.
She supports people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also helps with problems tied to relationships, family disagreements, parenting strain, work issues such as workplace bullying, and concerns around sexuality and women’s issues. Catherine offers practical support alongside emotional exploration. In sessions she pays attention to what each person needs in the moment.
Sometimes that means talking things through; sometimes it means working more creatively or sitting with silence. Her focus is on helping people notice existing strengths and build simple coping strategies for day-to-day life. Catherine describes counselling as a space to be heard without judgement.
She works at a pace clients choose, offering open-ended support rather than a fixed number of sessions. Her style is calm and attentive, aiming to make the first steps easier for people who feel anxious about starting therapy. Sessions typically explore realistic steps to manage current problems and longer-term changes people want to make.
Catherine draws on five years of practice to respond to each person’s needs and to help them develop tools they can use after sessions end.

Person-centred therapy online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without judging and helps the person explore feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns, grief and identity questions because it centres the person's view and pace.Catherine will work collaboratively to find the best fit. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in early sessions. Together they decide whether to continue with person-centred work or adapt the approach to meet changing needs.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and offer flexible ways to connect with a registered or accredited professional.
