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, 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.

Cathy is a great person to talk to and makes me feel more listened to than any counselor or therapist ever has.
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!
