Hello and welcome. Perhaps you are going through a difficult time at the moment. Each of us can go through times when we find it difficult to cope. We can feel stressed, and alone. Exploring your thoughts and feelings in a confidential space where you won’t feel judged can be a step towards clarity and change. You may feel anxious, depressed or suffer from low self-esteem. I believe each person can help themselves find the way forward towards achieving their full potential and leading happier lives. I can help you to understand yourself and to recognise changes that you can make to ease discomfort that you may be experiencing.

Feelings of being stuck and lost. Or feeling that you can’t achieve the things that you want. When this is the way you encounter the world your internal dialogue can turn in to criticism and self blame. Counselling offers you a safe, confidential space to talk about anything you might be going through. Therapy aims to support whatever growth or change you would like to move towards in your life.

Hi, I'm Catherine and I am a BACP registered Person Centred counsellor. At times we can feel overwhelmed by life - past experiences, difficulties in the present and fears about the future. Counselling can be very helpful during these difficult times. It can enable us change the way we think about feel about things. It can help us explore our thoughts surrounding a particular issue, even when that might be challenging, and increase our self-confidence and self-esteem as we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. By talking through things we all have the power to change our thinking and thrive as a result.

As the saying goes, 'Its' good to talk', and I'm hear to listen. Whether life has just got a bit too much at the moment, or whether there are longer term factors and influences you'd like to explore and process, together, we can find a way. I could go into more detail, but for me, reading a blurb doesn't help establish whether I'm the right counsellor for you. If you've reached the point where you are actively looking I'd suggest sending me an email or giving me a bell, lets have a chat and see if I'm able to provide what you need.

Life presents us with difficulties and problems which can cause unhappiness and can leave you wondering how to cope or even if there is any point to it all. Anxiety and depression are common in our society today. Losing loved ones is something we all have to face at some point in our life. Events going on in our own country and around the world can make us feel unsettled and worried about the future. Talking about your experiences and feelings with a person-centred counsellor can really help. I am a warm and caring person with a genuine passion to help you find a way through your difficulties and find some peace within.
