Hi, I’m Cat, an experienced, neuro-affirming, integrative Counsellor (MBACP/MNCPS Acc.), LI-CBT Psychotherapist and Attachment Specialist who’s worked therapeutically with children (6+), teens and adults for over 20 years in several professional roles, including Family Support, Youth Justice, Public Health, Prisons, CAMHS contracts and NHS Talking Therapies.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and reaching out for support isn’t always easy. You may be feeling anxious, stuck or disconnected from yourself. You may have spent so long looking after everyone else that you've forgotten to make time for yourself. Therapy offers you the opportunity to pause, discover what you need and reconnect with yourself. Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space for adults, where we can gently explore what you're going through at your own pace. Alongside support, I can also gently challenge unhelpful patterns or beliefs when it feels okay to do so.

You might be exhausted by how much space food takes up in your mind — while still wondering if you’re “sick enough” to deserve help.
Maybe you’ve been let down by treatment before. Maybe you were told you don’t meet criteria. Or maybe you’ve been trying to manage this on your own for years. Either way, food, weight or body thoughts can quietly dominate your days, even as another part of you longs for a life that feels freer and more yours.

Hi, I'm a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist, offering therapy to adults online across the UK and in St Helens, Merseyside.

So often the psychological distress we experience is an understandable reaction to the things we have gone through and the situations we find ourselves in. Therapy can help us make sense of what is happening and develop new ways of seeing or coping with things. What brings people to therapy can be vastly different. Maybe you’ve lost enjoyment in your life or work & are feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you’ve noticed patterns that keep showing up in your life & you want to get to the bottom of why you do what you do. Or maybe you’ve experienced some painful things & feel that they’re impacting your life & you want that to be different.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
