She trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Person-Centred Counselling and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. Cathie aims to make first steps feel manageable and supportive.

Her work focuses on building a welcoming space where people can speak openly without judgment. She encourages honest conversation about how thoughts and feelings affect daily life. That practical, listening-led style helps people name problems and decide what matters most to them.

Cathie has supported people coping with low self-esteem, motivation and confidence struggles. She has experience with neurodiverse clients and the isolation and anxiety they can face. She also has a Certificate in Couple and Family Counselling and applies that learning when addressing relationship concerns.

She lists a broad range of focus areas including parenting and caregiver stress, grief, anger, and career-related worries. Other areas noted are attachment, adoption and foster care, body image, dissociation and first responder issues. This range means she can offer practical help for many life challenges.

Cathie holds BACP as her stated professional credential. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Starting therapy with her involves a simple matching step and scheduling to suit individual needs.

How Cathie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Cilent-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to each person. Online sessions can use that same style, with the counsellor offering presence and empathy while you talk about stress, self-esteem or anxiety. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and values. It helps when someone is facing big life changes or questions about identity and purpose. Systemic therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and roles. It can be useful when communication problems or family dynamics are causing strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cathie will work together with clients to identify which ideas fit their needs and goals. That collaborative process means the focus can shift as concerns change, so sessions remain relevant and practical.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to connect from another part of the country, since international clients are accepted. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Overall, online sessions can make regular contact more manageable while keeping the focus on straightforward, talk-based support.
