Cathy Crammer

No availability on Fridays or weekends.

Looking for support? 

I provide face to face, telephone, zoom or walk and talk outdoor counselling sessions. Areas I can support include bereavement, loss and grief, anxiety, depression, stress, anger, self esteem and relationship problems.  A specialist area for me is supporting people through bereavement(s), having trained with the charity Cruse Bereavement for 3 years.

The only areas I do not support are substance abuse / addiction. 

Sessions delivered in a way that suits you

Face to Face Sessions @ The Consulting Centre in Branksome, Poole.  

This practice has excellent Covid-19 measures in place for your safety with rooms deep cleaned each evening and wiped down thoroughly between sessions.  The rooms offer a socially distanced environment, with a safe waiting area, hand sanitiser throughout and you are able to wash your hands in the on-site toilet facilities. Free parking is available at Tesco Branksome.  The offices are open 8am-7pm.

Phone and Zoom Session @ times to suit you between 8am-8pm.

Walk & Talk Sessions @ Poole Park

Meeting at the Cricket Pavilion and taking a gentle loop around Poole Park lake. Normally the route is around 3-4km during a session depending on walking speed.

Overview

I'm a person centred counsellor meaning that I will work with you to help you explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions with a view to you creating to changes in your life to improve your sense of overall wellbeing.

Session Length

Each session is 50 minutes 

Number of Sessions

I can offer a certain number of sessions to fit your budget or work with you for as long as you require, tailoring support to what is helpful to you.  

I offer a 30 minute free introductory meeting by phone or online to let you know more about how counselling might help support you and to find out more about you to establish if counselling is the right type of support for you.  You'll be under no obligation and it's a chance for you to discuss what you might be looking for from therapy and to see if you feel comfortable with me. If for any reason I'm unable to support you, I'll also help with signposting you to other local / national support services.

Availability - When and Where

Sessions available for Walk & Talk Therapy in Poole Park:

Monday  9am or 430pm

Tuesday 9am

Wednesday 9am  

Hi, alongside phone, face to face and zoom support, I offer Outdoor Nature Therapy / Walk and Talk therapy using a route around Poole Park lake.  This can provide a different experience from the confines of a therapy room and can be helpful for those that enjoy connecting to the outdoors and nature. Sessions are 50 minutes and follow a traditional therapy session, just taking it outside to enjoy the fresh air and nature around you.  

I'm able to support on a wide variety of matters such as bereavement, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stress, anger, self esteem issues, relationships, disordered eating and more.

First Session

I provide an initial 30 minute consultation by phone or zoom to hear more about areas you are looking to explore and to understand if I can help support you.  From there we can agree a suitable date and time for Walk and Talk sessions (or via phone, zoom or face to face).
