More about Cathy

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a fully qualified, UK based counsellor with

eleven years' counselling experience. I work with adults facing a wide range of difficulties in their lives.

During appointments we will work together to untangle the thoughts and feelings you may be experiencing. We will aim to gain insight into the issues you are dealing with, helping you to better understand what is going on. Everyone is different and the process will move at whatever pace is right for you - I don't set a limit on the number of sessions.

I will not give advice or tell you what to do, but aim to help you find your own way. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Cathy is great, she was assigned me when I was about to end the subscription. She showed me that she cared, she is very kind and always listens to me. I decided to carry in with my therapy with her and I have started to feel much better!
