Cate Lawson

I currently have no availability.

Hello, I’m Cate and I am a BACP registered Person-Centred Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I support people who are struggling with issues that are causing them distress, and help them to find their way through them. Understanding and exploring thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviour in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment can make a huge difference to wellbeing, and can help lift symptoms of anxiety and depression.

I have a deep interest in family life and relationships and the impact your past may have on your life now. I believe that self-acceptance and self-belief play a huge part in how you feel about yourself, and I know that counselling can really help to shift this.  

I am confident to work with most issues, but have specific experience of family conflict and relationship issues, fertility, IVF, miscarriage, adoption, attachment, relationship problems and low self-esteem. I work with people on an individual 121 basis.

As well as my private practice I have worked within the charity sector supporting people working in challenging fields such as substance abuse, domestic abuse, emergency services and the legal sector; and supporting charity service users to deal with historical trauma and often long-standing mental health issues.

The therapy I offer is completely private and confidential and is available face-to-face, over the phone, online or through walk-and-talk therapy. Walking side by side with someone can be less intense, and being outside in nature and getting moderate exercise brings its own benefits.

Counselling is most effective when based on a trusting relationship so I offer a free 30 minute consultation to discuss what you are looking for and to work out if I’m the right counsellor for you. 

I currently have no availability until October.
