I have been using online therapy with Ms. Norris for the past six months and can only recommend her highly. Her professional and compassionate approach helped me immensely during a very difficult time. Ms. Norris manages to create a trusting and supportive atmosphere in which I always felt in good hands. Her ability to listen while imparting valuable insights and techniques has greatly advanced my healing process. The flexibility of the online sessions was particularly beneficial for me.

More about Catherine

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a Registered Member of the BACP with 15 years experience working with clients from many different backgrounds with many different presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement.

Life can often feel overwhelming and I can offer a calm, safe space to explore and heal. I have worked within the NHS and for 2 well known charity organisations, as well as in private practice from my home in Berkshire, UK.

I believe that it is possible to make lasting changes within a confidential, focused and compassionate working relationship. Together, we can determine what is truly important to you and move towards a meaningful life with your values at the core.

Counselling is often about embracing authenticity, becoming the person you were before social and familial conditioning. I will work alongside you, helping you to make sense of your current difficulties, to find clarity, coping skills and ways to move forward.

Often this involves looking at your past and how this may influence your current thoughts, feelings and actions.

I use a pluralistic approach which means that I can draw from a range of therapies and tailor sessions towards a way of working that feels right for you.

Life and change are always relational and it is the relationship between individuals that is at the core of any therapeutic intervention. I look forward to meeting you and accompanying you on this part of your journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
