I am a Humanistic counsellor and psychotherapist working with adults and young people in the Chichester area offering long and short term therapy. I work face to face in my therapy room, offer walk & talk sessions and online session. You may be struggling with your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviours, and your life situation at the moment. Not knowing how to overcome these difficulties can feel overwhelming. I can help you explore this in order to empower you, to make the necessary changes to live a more fulfilling life.

Therapy can be transformative - so why struggle alone? Whether you are in deep emotional pain, anxious, stressed or perhaps frustrated with your life, exploring the issues in a safe setting can be empowering. In a world that can feel frantic yet lonely, it's hard to dedicate time to yourself. But you are important: you deserve an opportunity to reassess 'how you got here', to be more self-aware and find ways to be truly happy. I offer the chance to be really heard - with empathy and without judgement - in total confidence. We'll work together to understand what is troubling you at a depth, duration and pace that feel right to you.

Hi I am Catherine, from Future Vision, my mission is to support women whose goal is to change their career for one that is more in alignment with their values & life path. If you are feeling unclear on what to do next, lacking the tools or focus to make the changes you need or feeling isolated because you are unable to discuss your feelings openly about how you can make the changes you need that can result in patterns of unhelpful thoughts, feelings and reactions to those around you.

I will listen to whatever you choose to bring without judgement. There are times in life when things are feeling difficult, worrying, upsetting and even impossible to manage. It may feel daunting thinking about sharing something with me that you have been carrying around, all on your own perhaps. But ask yourself - what will you feel like once that weight has lifted?

Are you struggling with issues and can't see which way to turn? Feeling overwhelmed? Facing life-changing situations? I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, working in private practice providing face-to-face, telephone and online individual counselling. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space into which you can bring issues which may be leaving you struggling, anxious and conflicted. Talking to someone outside your immediate circle, who can offer an objective perspective on your situation, can help you to feel heard, recognise patterns of behaviour, and work things through without fear of reprisal, judgement or guilt.

Are you struggling to cope or experiencing low mood? Do you feel uneasy or ‘not like your usual self’ and you don’t know why? Are you wondering where your anxiety comes from? Do the same patterns seem to repeat throughout your life? Your well-being is central to everything we will work on. Counselling is your time & your space to reflect upon your current worries, fears, problems & reflect upon your experience of life. We will identify and focus on what’s currently draining you, then incorporate techniques to ‘free up’, balance & improve your energy. This is your counselling so you will decide how you wish to use your sessions.

Living in the world can sometimes bring difficulties. Loss and bereavement, relationship problems, isolation and loneliness, addiction, infidelity, lack of purpose, and questions of sexuality are some of these: anger, shame, sadness, escapism, losing our way or simply putting ones head-in-the-sand are ways that we respond. When this begins to interfere with the quality of how we live, we may seek counselling. We want to live better.

I am interested in the impact our childhood has on how we have developed as adults. I help people explore their lives now; how they may change who they are; and how they may learn to love and accept what they cannot change. I have over 30 years experience as a counsellor.

I have a special interest in working with adults who have, or think they have, ADHD and autism. Many people have only discovered this late in life. Sometimes after their child has been diagnosed, or due to wondering why they have always felt different to others. This could be a self-diagnosis or an official diagnosis. Has this impacted your feelings about who you are and how you go forward? Maybe you feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or confused. Are your relationships affected? I work with couples when one is neurodivergent, the other is neurotypical, or both are neurodivergent.

Having been on the other side of this process myself, I recognise it can be a daunting prospect trying to guess if you’ll be able to work with someone based on a few words and a photo. To support our work, you and I will have a contract to create a safe framework covering confidentiality, fees, communications and boundaries to respect the special nature of our 'working alliance'. I describe it this way because I see the counselling partnership as a way to walk alongside your experience with a compassionate ear and another pair of eyes, to really tune in to how things are for you, whatever you choose to share. This space is for you.

We will work through any old and unhelpful perspectives and feelings about yourself and your life, enabling you to make positive changes - putting the pieces of your puzzle back together, leading you to loving your life and accepting every aspect of it.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in PO20?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in PO20 specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
