More about Catherine

Hello, I'm Catherine, a kind, warm and friendly qualified integrative counsellor. Talking to someone can really help, just being able to feel heard and understood by someone is a powerful feeling.
My aim is to build people up and I am committed to providing a warm safe and supportive environment. I am a compassionate, non-judgmental and kind person with a gentle voice. You do not have to be on your own with your worries and thoughts. The way I can help you is by offering another perspective and a chance to reflect and be curious looking into your past and present issues/concerns together at your own pace.
I would call myself integrative as I use a range of tools and skills to reflect each individual person. I am highly experienced with a Bachelor of Science degree in Therapeutic counselling with many years of counselling practice. I have experience supporting people with many mental health problems, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, confidence, as well as trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, grief and bereavement. I work with both adults and young people. I am more than happy to answer your questions and have a discussion regarding therapy sessions. So please get in touch if you feel I would be a good fit for you and your needs.

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.
