More about Catherine

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • NCPS

I am a Person-Centred Counsellor who offers support to individuals face to face, online and via the telephone.

People reach out for support through counselling for many reasons and choosing to engage in this work is an amazing act of self-care.

Counselling can help you: 

* Deal with major life events like a bereavement or breakdown of a relationship.

* Recognise and understand patterns of behaviour and how you relate/interact with the world.

* Process and heal from past experiences.

* Find manageable coping mechanisms and make meaningful changes.

* Deepen your understanding of yourself and find self-acceptance.

I understand that taking those first steps on your counselling journey can feel very daunting, and maybe even a bit frightening, but I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore any difficulties you are experiencing and create an empathetic, non-judgmental, warm, and friendly environment to us to work in. Every client is unique, so I am happy to undertake and support each session at your pace.

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.
