About me and my therapy practice
Welcome. My name is Catherine, I am a registered psychotherapist drawing from a range of modalities to work with you on the life problems you might be experiencing. My approach to therapy is holistic, tailored to you and grounded in a safe and open therapeutic relationship. I aim to offer a space of empathy, warmth, authenticity and confidentiality within which we can make sense of yourself and your relationships together and you are able to heal and grow. I work with people facing various life challenges including anxiety, loss, depression, relationship problems, trauma and struggles with life transitions and identity. I have professinoal experience in multiple settings including the NHS, community mental health services, university counselling services and mental health charities.
Practice description
I work pluralistically and integratively. This means I work collaboratively with you, drawing from multiple different modalities that I have trained in and adapting therapy to you and your unique needs. I welcome an initial chat to talk about how we might work together to support you.
I am also in the final stages of a professional doctorate in counselling psychology.
My first session
While I use a loosely structured assessment (including exploring topics such as significant life experiences, therapeutic goals, physcial wellbeing) my main aim to ensure I understand what has brought you to therapy and how we can work together. Additionally, I know that this first session might feel daunting or intimidating so another important aim is to foster a warm and compassionate first session.
