About Catharine "Cathy" Douglas
Catharine "Cathy" Douglas is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of clinical experience. She takes a relational, client-led approach that helps people explore the complex feelings that bring them to therapy and develop greater self-understanding. Cathy aims to create a therapeutic space where each person feels heard, seen, and respected while they reflect and work through difficult issues.
Her work combines different theoretical perspectives so that interventions are matched to each person’s needs. Drawing on client-centred principles, she supports people to access their own strengths and resources, and to shift unhelpful patterns toward healthier ways of living. Cathy also integrates mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when appropriate, tailoring the process to the presenting concern and the individual’s goals.
She is especially experienced supporting stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem and depression, grief and trauma, parenting and family difficulties, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Cathy also works with problems such as burnout, compassion fatigue, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and life transitions. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional qualification that reflects formal training in counselling practice and standards.
Beginning therapy can feel uneasy, and Cathy seeks to make the process collaborative and clear so people can take steady steps toward change and greater self-awareness.
