She aims to make the first steps towards change feel manageable and clear. Catherine uses a warm, non-judgemental approach that puts the person at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most and helps people name their immediate difficulties. From there she adds focused tools drawn from cognitive-behavioural therapy when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Her practice covers stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD and grief.
She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem difficulties and coping with life changes. Additional concerns she works with include body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Catherine aims to be flexible around busy schedules and offers evening and weekend appointments.
She encourages people to describe what brought them to counselling and to set clear, practical goals for therapy. Sessions are conversational and focused on gradual, realistic steps forward. People who choose Catherine can expect straightforward explanations and gentle challenge when needed.
She helps clients build skills they can use between sessions and checks progress regularly. The emphasis is on practical change alongside empathic listening. To begin, she asks people to share what they are struggling with now so she can tailor support.
Her approach balances acceptance of the present with concrete strategies to move towards a more satisfying life.

How person-centred and CBT approaches work online
Catherine blends person-centred counselling with cognitive-behavioural techniques. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client and creating an accepting space to talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) adds practical strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative behaviours to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss the options and help decide what fits the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for a full conversational session, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and messaging helps when people prefer to write between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life and to keep progress moving forward without long travel.
