Hi, I'm Cat, thank you for reading my profile. I offer pluralistic counselling either in-person at a central Peterborough location (PE1) or remotely online or via telephone. The work we do will vary according to your needs. Sessions typically take place weekly or bi-weekly. It is possible to work in the short-term (maybe 4-6 sessions) or in the longer-term with an ongoing alliance (1 year+) and anything in between!
I have a particular understanding of the unique joys and challenges GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity) clients may face and so am best suited to working with those who might find themselves minoritised or marginalised due to aspects of their social identity.
I believe human beings thrive when we feel understood and connected to. With a good therapeutic relationship we can unfold and explore our full potential. I came into counselling after my own experience as a client so I do understand the apprehension that can come with seeking support.
