Hello,  my name is Catherine, I am a Person - Centred Counsellor.

 Please take a few minutes to read  how I will work with you. 

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 enables 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 opinion,  you can feel free to  explore any concerns or difficulties you are experiencing  emotionally, and  physically.

Perhaps you can't move forward from memories of trauma, experienced through other stages in your life.

Perhaps you have lost your sense of self and want to get to know it again?

 It might feel out of reach at the moment  but together we will find ways to help you overcome and manage  the feelings, emotions,  and barriers  that hold you back living life to the full, the way you want to live life.
