Catherine Russell

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, offering support to those in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area.  I am passionate about what I do, and believe that everyone should have access to high quality counselling at exactly the time they need it, without having to wait.

We all experience difficulties in our lives from time to time, but sometimes these problems can feel overwhelming and as if you have nowhere to turn. I am able to offer support during challenging and distressing times in a calm, confidential and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. Together we can work towards you identifying and making sense of your difficulties and look at positive changes you may want to make in order to reach your potential and be the person you want to be.

The thought of coming to counselling can feel daunting, and making a client feel at ease in the counselling room is important to me. As an integrative counsellor I will give you space to work through your difficulties at your own pace and without any pressure.  I work with a combination of therapeutic approaches which means that I will tailor the work to suit your needs and work alongside you to bring about change and a positive outcome.

 I have experience with a wide range of issues and with people who come from a variety of backgrounds. My experience includes bereavement, domestic violence, low self-esteem, substance misuse, addictions, self-harm, trauma, abuse, social and family interactions, carer support, misophonia, divorce and separation, anxiety, panic attacks and depression.
