How Catherine's approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and challenges that come with caregiving or life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so the person can find their own solutions. This approach supports people who need space to talk through parenting strain or relationship worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She aims to be collaborative, checking in about what helps and adapting as you go.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit those who prefer speaking without being on camera or who need to schedule around caregiving duties. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to practical needs and help people test new coping strategies between meetings.
