Focus areas and approaches

What Catherine works with

Everything Catherine lists, in their own terms.

Online support

Many counsellors use evidence-based techniques that help people manage overwhelming feelings and make different choices. One common approach is focused talking work that helps identify unhelpful patterns and develop clearer thinking about difficult situations; this is useful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasises processing distressing memories and the emotions they carry so those memories stop shaping daily reactions as strongly; this can help with trauma, grief and hurt from abuse.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose a path together based on your needs, goals and what feels comfortable. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you talk face to face without travelling. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be a shorter check-in or a way to reflect between conversations. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around real life commitments and different rhythms.
