About Catherine Fear

Catherine Fear is a United Kingdom-based therapist with four years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns. She has a particular interest in working with clients who are managing chronic illness and persistent pain, offering focused support that recognises the overlap between physical health and emotional wellbeing.

She adopts a client-centered stance, listening without judgement and adapting to each person’s pace and priorities. Catherine aims to create an environment where clients feel heard, valued and accepted, and she stays alongside them through the full course of therapy whether that process is short or long.

As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Catherine follows recognised professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. She is available for video and audio sessions once initial contact has been made, and she does not offer an ongoing messaging-only service. Catherine works between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and will respond to messages during those hours only.

Asking for support can be a difficult first step, and Catherine recognises that taking that step is itself a meaningful achievement. Her approach focuses on building a respectful, collaborative relationship that supports practical coping, emotional processing and longer term change.

Client-Centered Care and Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy is at the heart of Catherine's practice. This approach prioritises the client's perspective, with the therapist offering empathy, non-judgemental listening and reflective feedback to help people explore their feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. It is especially helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship difficulties where being heard and understood supports change.

Catherine also incorporates coaching-style support when appropriate, focusing on practical goals, steps and coping strategies to help clients manage day-to-day challenges and move toward clearer priorities. This can be useful for issues such as stress, career questions, and adapting to life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting style and focus as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for busy lives. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional options such as live chat or text-based messaging are available to suit different communication preferences. These formats make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access support from home, and fit therapy into work or caregiving schedules.
