Catriona Palin

Currently not taking on any more clients.

After my own experiance of counselling, I make great efforts to create a similarily positive theraputic relationship.

As an Integrative Counsellor I am comfortable in exploring what makes you, uniquely you. The positive, the negative as well as you’re not too sure about and bring them together as a whole. Sometimes life throws us curve balls and being the adaptive species that we are, we create ways to tolerate these difficult times. This is wonderful at the time, but unfortunately, we can grow out of these suits of armour and eventually, instead of helping, they can restrict our growth and movement.

Together we can look at all the parts of your armour that you have crafted over the years. We can explore what works well, what needs upgrading and if any parts, you may even want to get rid of altogether.

I work relationally so I will also invite you to explore the relationship that we have with each other. 

Research shows that the 'therapeutic relationship' between client and counsellor is vital for successful counselling, therefore I will  strive to help you feel comfortable and secure so that you can share your experience of me and our sessions.

My aim is to create an environment for you to talk, reflect and to be heard- where your voice can be truly listened to.

I work either online via Zoom or face to face from a room I rent within the All Saints Centre, in Huthwaite.

Sessions are £45 per session

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

*Please note that there is sometimes an issue with the contact form. I recommend emailing me directly if you would like to get in touch.*

Our initial session is more a getting to know each other opportunity than a therapeutic session.

We can ask each other questions to find out if I am the most suitable person to work with you. I am more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.

This is a great time to explore, just what you want from counselling and if I can offer it.

I will go over the contract and can explain the therapeutic process in  more detail so you have a good understanding on what working with me will involve. 

There’s no need to sign the contract there and then. I am happy for you to leave after this inital meeting and have think about if you want to work with me or not.

If we feel that working together would be beneficial, then we can move forward together into therapy.
