About Catherine Teale (Richards)
Catherine Teale (Richards) is an integrative counsellor who offers a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental approach to therapy.

Holding a Bachelor of Science degree in Therapeutic Counselling and BACP membership, Catherine blends practical skills and reflective listening to tailor her work to each person. Over four years of practice she has supported adults and young people with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, relationship challenges, grief and bereavement, and issues with confidence.

Integrative approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a more meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress. It can be helpful for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and some eating-related concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationships and how they shape current patterns in relationships and emotion regulation, making it useful for intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulties, and attachment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine works collaboratively with clients to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods over time so therapy feels like a good fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone allow face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent contact. These formats can make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives, helping clients engage with consistent support in ways that suit them.
