Catherine House

I work Tuesdays to Friday inclusive. 

As an accredited counsellor, supervisor, coach and trainer I have extensive experience of working with adults, young people and couples. 

People come to counselling for many reasons. It could be that you are facing a specific challenge, having a tricky time in your relationship or simply sense that you want something to be different and feel a bit lost. My role is to provide a counselling space that enables you to go wherever you need to achieve what you want. As I say on my website if it matters to you, it matters. 

Clients have described me as warm, accepting and appropriately challenging. I believe this is key. I want you to feel listened to, but also to support you to find ways to explore different angles and  consider new possibilities. 

I recognise that human diversity means we may have different needs as well as ways of communicating and I strive to ensure that I provide a genuinely inclusive space and meet you exactly where you are, remaining flexible and responsive to your needs throughout. I am experienced of working with diverse backgrounds both online and from my comfortable therapy rooms in Farnham.

Neurodiversity is important to me, both professionally and personally. As an ADHDer myself I see the strengths that brings to my work alongside the challenges that I have to find ways to manage. My passion for ensuring equitable access for neurodivergent folk led me, in 2020, to start providing neurodiversity training  to counsellors, charities and companies. 

In addition to offering therapy I am a coach, diploma qualified supervisor and provide wellbeing and neurodiversity training. I've worked in private practice, charity sector, further and higher education, and corporate spaces providing short-term, long term and one-at-a-time therapy. 

Whatever prompts you to make contact I will do all in my power to make our time together useful.

As a relational integrative supervisor I see my role as supporting you through providing a safe exploratory space where we can explore your work in a way that feels supportive, encourages your continuing development and values your autonomy. 

Having completed the BPS Certificate in Supervision in July 2019 and a Diploma in Integrative Supervision I offer supervision underpinned by two key theoretical models (the Seven-Eyed Model and the Cyclical model).   

I am committed to ethical practice and support supervisees to develop their reflective practice techniques in reference to the BACP ethical framework.

I am experienced in working with trainee and qualified counsellors and other professionals working in a range of settings. I provide individual and group supervision. 

I do not charge for an initial meeting.
