More about Catherine

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

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.

If you want to find out more about me you can visit my website @ www.tealetherapy.com

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.
