Catherine Caumont

As from week commencing 27th November 2023 I have availability for one new couple (Monday evenings) at The Stephenson Centre in Ipswich.

I am an experienced and accredited psychodynamic therapist working with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of difficulties, or relationship issues, on both a long and a short term basis.

I  also offer fortnightly or monthly Clinical Supervision sessions, either in person or via Zoom, focussing on the psychodynamic perspective.

I have previously worked as a seminar leader and tutor on the Certificate in Counselling Skills Course at CCF in Chelmsford. I have also worked for Essex County Council as a Staff Counsellor in Occupational Health seeing council employees.

I have a particular interest in reflective and therapeutic writing and have undertaken training to run writing groups.

I hold a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (WPF) as well as a BSc (Hons) in Health and Social Studies and have completed the Foundation Course in Group Analysis with the IGA. I have a Diploma in Supervision from Cambridge Supervision Training, and am qualified to train over-16's with the Award in Education and Training. I have undertaken additional training in Couples Therapy at both the Tavistock Centre and Chelmsford Counselling Foundation.

I offer confidential short-term and long-term counselling for both individuals and couples, based at The Stephenson Centre in central Ipswich, close to the University and Waterfront.  I also offer online counselling and supervision via Zoom.

The fee for counselling is from £60 per session for individuals and from £75 per session for couples.  Concessions available for trainee therapists. 

The aim of counselling is to provide time and space to help you reflect on your life and make sense of your current situation.

I aim to provide you with the opportunity to re-evaluate your beliefs about yourself and your relationships.

Together we will work to help you understand your emotional reactions and responses.

The ultimate goal of counselling is a more rewarding life for you. 

I understand that considering counselling for the first time takes courage. You may have approached your search for a counsellor for your own reasons, or it may have been suggested to you by a friend, family member or healthcare professional.

In the first session, we will discuss your current situation in personal, work and family contexts, to help you consider what has brought you to consider counselling.

Whatever the reason, you may be apprehensive when approaching your first counselling session. This first session is really an opportunity for both of us to decide if working together would be helpful for you.

Psychodynamic supervision for individuals or groups available in central Ipswich. Zoom or telephone sessions also available.

Essay tutorials and academic support also available.

Fees from £60 per hour or from £70 for 90 minutes for individuals.  Fees for groups dependant on group size and frequency of sessions. Concessions available for newly qualified therapists and trainees.

Fortnightly or monthly sessions available.  

Based at the Stephenson Centre in Ipswich, I offer clinical supervision to counsellors and other healthcare professionals.  Working from the psychodynamic modality, I provide a reflective space where the dilemmas of professional practice can be explored together. 

I offer a free initial discussion by Zoom or telephone (up to 30 minutes).
