Many of my clients present to me with anxiety, low-confidence or specific mental health issues. Goals are often to feel happier, cope better at work or in relationships. Steps to achieving this tend to centre around better understanding of self and identifying what barriers we have constructed that keep us stuck. Instead of seeing an insurmountable wall, in many cases there's an opportunity for growth. My job is to help you figure out how to take your first steps and overcome fear and negativity. Often, the very first is asking for help.

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure where to turn. Reaching out for support shows strength, and I’m here to walk alongside you in finding a way forward. I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted from coping alone, but through our work they often discover new perspectives, greater self-understanding, and a sense of relief that they don’t have to carry everything by themselves.

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.

You may be on a difficult journey, struggling with some difficulties for quite some time and not knowing where to start. You may feel like your life has been on hold for a while and you lost connection with what used to be important. Perhaps your quality of life, and relationships has been affected and you function on autopilot having difficulty being present?

Therapy is an active process where we work together. I work with you to firstly make sense of your difficulties and then agree a plan to use therapy to work towards your goals. I am trained in a number of therapies and we can see which feels the best fit for you and your goals. I have experience working with depression, anxiety disorders such as social anxiety, phobias, GAD and OCD. I also have long term experience of teaching coping skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, developing acceptance and working on self esteem. I focus mainly on the here and now and always consider how therapy will get you closer to your goals.

Are you sad, experiencing an ongoing battle with low mood and depression? Do you need time and space to work through what's causing your anxiety , stress, upset in your life? Does the daily struggle leave you exhausted and feeling like you want to give up? Physical symptoms are a result of an overthinking mind, negative thought patterns and habits that are causing you emotional distress. You are not alone and effective therapy can be a life changing process enabling you to feel happier and more fulfilled. Taking back control needs new skills, coping mechanisms and a different perspective - making the call is the first step.

Please note, I am currently at capacity and operating a waiting list. I may also be slow to respond due to the number of enquiries. Thank you. I speak to adults and young people who want to better their situation. Sometimes we may feel so low that we lose hope, but a qualified counsellor will enable you to find solutions you didn’t know existed.
