She uses knowledge from a Certificate in Couple and Family counselling when addressing relationship and family matters. Her approach aims to reduce blame and increase clearer communication.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult moments. Cathie encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is helpful for each person. She aims to make the process straightforward and respectful of each person’s pace.

How Cathie's Approaches Work Online
Cathie uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person's perspective. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions to stress, anxiety and low mood.She also uses systemic ideas when relationship or family patterns are involved. Systemic work looks at how interactions and roles affect how people feel and communicate, which can be useful for couples, separation issues and family communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cathie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
