About Catherine

Hi, I'm Catherine. I am an integrative person-centred and cognitive behavioural therapist, and EMDR therapist. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and therapy offers a calm, confidential space to explore life. I walk alongside you with compassion and care, helping you find a way forward that feels right for you. My work is shaped around your individual needs, drawing on person-centred therapy, CBT techniques and strategies, helping you understand the patterns in your life and how they affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. These techniques will extend the counselling hour, giving you tools you can use beyond the session.
