Therapeutic approaches and online support
Catherine draws on evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often used for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections; it can be helpful for relationship challenges and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic, non-directive support that helps someone explore their experience and find their own path forward.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Catherine works collaboratively to identify what fits best with a person's needs, goals and preferences. Together they consider which methods feel most helpful and adapt the work over time.
Online therapy with Catherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to fit more naturally into everyday life.
