About Catherine
Catherine Cross offers calm, practical support for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She meets individuals who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief or big life changes. Catherine writes and talks in a warm, down-to-earth way that aims to make conversations feel straightforward and usable.
Catherine is a BACP member, which means she follows the professional standards set by the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She has four years of practice experience and has worked in the NHS, a local children’s centre supporting parents, and in independent practice.
Background and approach
She also provides support for workers in the construction industry through a charity role. Her day-to-day work includes helping people with parenting and family concerns, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, and neurodiversity-related issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating problems, anger, self-esteem issues, bipolar and mood fluctuations, and compassion fatigue.
Catherine uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are focused on the person in front of her and practical steps they can try between meetings. She helps clients clarify decisions, find calmer ways to cope, and rebuild a sense of meaning and purpose in daily life.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the available times.

Approaches Catherine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions and build self-worth, which is useful for issues like grief, self-esteem and relationship worries.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods over time. Together they will check what works and change direction when needed.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
