Catriona Walsh

Life's pressures can make us feel unsure of ourselves and this can make us feel unhappy and unable to talk to someone, It takes courage to come to counselling but your not on your own.

My work is based on a diversity of approaches, collating together Person Centred, CBT and psycho-dynamic by taking this approach I provide a range of interventions to find ways that can help each unique client resolve their individual needs. It is important to understand that the client is the expert in their needs and by working with me to find life solutions to work towards reducing that anxiety, combating that depression and conquering that self doubt. It is from that I pride myself on being able to create a therapeutic relationship, allowing the client to be heard, to explore and consider solutions and new possibilities for their future in a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.  It creates an environment for the client to feel safe, secure and ensuring that they will be treated with the upmost respect and dignity at all times and confidentiality remains a priority within the practice. 

I offer face-to-face counselling and also online and telephone counselling.  

I focus on helping and supporting my clients of all age groups to gain balance and a sense of control within their life.  

I also specialise in working with clients with Epilepsy, from my own personal experience of living with epilepsy in the family I can help you find ways to apply coping strategies, develop self awareness and set goals for the future.

The first session will be time spent understanding the contents of the contract, boundaries and the chance to explore my way of working.  We will use this session to see if we feel comfortable working together and I will explain how we will work together.  

This session will be time to explore the strengths of my clients and their ability to strive each day in counselling.

 The therapy is based on contract for 6 session with open ended.
