Hello...  Please take a few minutes to  read and think about  how I offer you counselling, and if it feels right with you and  meets your needs.

My name is Catherine and I am a  Person- Centred counsellor 

 So what is the person-centred  approach and how can it help you?

   I offer you empathy ,compassion and kindness in a Safe,  confidential therapy  space each week. This is  for you to talk through, reflect on, and begin the challenging process of feeling better in yourself,  and understanding yourself more. This is offered without  Judgement  or opinions,  you can feel free to  explore any concerns or difficulties you are experiencing  emotionally, and  physically.

Perhaps you are stuck in difficult memories of trauma, experienced through other stages in your life.

 perhaps you have lost your sense of self and want to get to know yourself again?

 Ok, it feels tough now ,but   together we will find ways to help you overcome the feelings, emotions,  and obstacles  that hold you back living life to the full, the way you want to live life.
