Background and approach
Catherine also supports people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, sleep problems and intimacy-related issues.

Her practice also covers areas such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and challenges related to ageing and cancer.
She aims to be patient and flexible around booking needs. Her style is straightforward and non-judgemental. People can expect a space to talk through their current struggles and to plan small steps for change.

How Catherine's approaches translate to online work
Catherine uses person-centred practice alongside cognitive behavioural methods and acceptance-oriented ideas to help people manage day-to-day difficulties. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity about next steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer straightforward exercises and changes to unhelpful thinking and behaviour, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) brings attention to values and small committed actions, which can help when coping with chronic illness or ongoing pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to fit the person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative: goals are set together and reviewed as progress is made.
If you are considering online counselling, check the current session options before booking. This profile does not list specific formats, so confirm what is offered when you match. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins during a workday break, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practical conversation, clear strategies and steady support that can be applied between sessions.
