Reaching out can be hard. Are you feeling overwhelmed? struggling to cope with your situation? your emotions? your experiences? If your trust has been damaged, talking to someone who will take time to understand you can be a huge relief. Perhaps you need support through a crisis or you are at the end of your tether with multiple stresses. Even if you have longterm issues that seem stuck, talking to someone can make a difference. You may gain insight into the roots of your difficulties and find qualities in yourself that have never had a chance to develop. The aim is to help you live a more rewarding life.

My approach to therapy draws from psychodynamic understanding of feelings and behaviours that might be challenging or painful in the present and can often be traced back to early life experiences. I offer a private and safe space where we work together at your own pace and without judgment.

Hello, my name is Catia. I offer counselling sessions to adults, children and young people as well as couples/marriage therapy. Counselling can bring clarity where there is confusion, resolve past issues, change behaviours and improve relationships.

Counselling can help bring positivity and enjoyment to situations which may currently feel negative and depressing.

I have extensive experience with assisting clients with gambling problems, which is a learned problem habit.

For all of us there are times when we need the support, understanding and guidance of others.
