Catherine Walsh

Due to the cost of living crisis I have reduced my rates to allow more individuals to access therapy. My practice is available 7 days per week Monday to Thursday 8am to 9pm and Friday 8.30am until 3pm, appointments are scheduled weekly unless otherwise arranged.  Sessions are also available at weekends both Saturday's and Sunday's by prior arrangement and incur a £10 supplement. A brief five minute screening session will be arranged to see if we are a suitable match following initial contact if required. I want you to have the best service and make sure I am the correct person for you, it is important you feel I am the right therapist for you and you feel a good connection.

 You can contact me by email or telephone, feel free to text and i will return your call. Check your spam folder if you do not receive a reply as emails can occasionally go into Spam?

Sessions are available online, via WhatsApp, telephone or face to face.

Choosing a therapist can be quite overwhelming, it's important to get the right fit. There will be many questions you want to ask & often you have no idea what to ask as this may be the first time you have reached out. I have over 25yrs experience. We can build trust & rapport, to formulate a plan of how we will work together to achieve from therapy what you desire. 

No problem is too big or small for counselling, what is important is how your life is being affected by what is going on for you at this time. Seeking help is a strength not a weakness and once you have taken the first step you can begin and continue to grow and heal.

I offer a safe environment, vast experience in my field, a beautiful therapy room that is bright and comfortable, offering empathy, understanding, a safe place to explore. Having someone listen and offer perspective in a non-judgmental and empathic way, to be empowered to make the changes you seek. I shall support you and we can work together to find the answers within you.

I provide therapies tailored to the individual alongside CBT. Please contact me, and we can have a brief chat to explore what your looking for in a therapist & any expectations or concerns. I have been established in Private Practice since 2006 providing counselling, Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I have a Masters in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and I work with adults age 18 and over. I provide integrative therapies tailored to the individual alongside CBT  if required. 

I work under the code of ethics of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I am registered with the ICO (independent Commissioners Office). Along with being an Accredited therapist with the BACP I am fully insured, have an an enhanced DBS and also work with EAP (Employee Assistance Programmes). 

I have a beautiful, bright and calming designated area within my home with a separate entrance, there is ample parking at the side and a bus stop 5 minutes walk away, I am a 5 minute taxi ride and 10 minutes walk from the nearest train station (Wigan North western & Wigan Wallgate).  I am centrally located 5 minutes from Wigan Pier and 10 minutes from Wigan Town Centre. There is no toilet or washroom facilities at this current time. 

If you choose to work online, sessions will be provided via WhatsApp or Teams offering flexibility.

The first session is both an assessment and an opportunity to build trust and rapport, to formulate a plan of how we will work together to achieve your goals and look at the best way forward for you to both heal and grow and achieve from therapy what you wanted. To be able to bring closure or to find the confidence you longed for, to find a way forward together one step at a time. To walk away with Hope is all I ask of a first session.
