She encourages open dialogue and works collaboratively to set achievable goals, often using worksheets and structured exercises when helpful to build awareness and practical coping skills. Her approach aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where difficult feelings can be explored and change can begin.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Catherine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and develop practical ways to act in line with what matters to them, even when difficult thoughts or emotions arise. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations involving avoidance or low motivation.Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach she uses to explore how early relationships influence current patterns in close connections. This work can help clients understand relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and intimacy-related concerns by tracing how past experiences shape present responses.
Catherine also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of sessions. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, confidence, and a stronger therapeutic alliance.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts direction as therapy progresses to support practical, meaningful change.
Online therapy offers flexible options for connecting with registered professionals. Catherine provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose formats that suit their schedule, comfort level, and daily life. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, or geographical constraints.
