About Catherine Foster
Her practice recognises that each person is the expert in their own life, so her role is to walk alongside clients as they explore thoughts, feelings and experiences. She draws on the client-centred approach to help people uncover resources and coping strategies already available to them, and to offer fresh perspectives when useful. Catherine has worked with people from varied backgrounds on matters such as bereavement, workplace bullying, low self-esteem, LGBTQ+ concerns and family disagreements.
Sessions can be flexible in style - conversational, creative or quietly reflective - depending on what an individual needs. Catherine aims to make the therapeutic space approachable and supportive for both those who have had counselling before and those seeking it for the first time.

Client-Centered Care and Online Sessions
Catherine Foster’s work is grounded in client-centered therapy, an approach that places the individual’s experience at the heart of the process. This method emphasises empathy, active listening and respect for the client’s pace, and can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and coping with major life changes.Alongside a client-centred stance, Catherine often incorporates coaching-focused support when clients want practical steps for career decisions, building self-esteem or navigating transitions. Coaching elements aim to clarify goals, highlight strengths and develop actionable strategies in collaboration with the client.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Catherine works collaboratively with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to tailor the pace and style of sessions so the approach evolves as the work progresses.

These formats make it easier for people to access registered professionals from home or elsewhere, and to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable and effective for them.
