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.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
