Catriona Armstrong

I offer online therapy to adults in Tenterden, Kent, as well as clients across the UK.

I currently have availability for weekly sessions during daytime and early evening hours (Monday–Friday).

Sessions take place via secure video, and we will agree on a regular weekly time so you have a consistent, reliable space for yourself.

Please get in touch for my current availability or to arrange an initial complimentary discovery session to talk about your needs.

I’m a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist, supporting adults who live with anxiety, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt, and the long-lasting impact of growing up in a family that appeared “fine” on the surface but was emotionally difficult underneath.

Many of the people I work with were the responsible one, the strong one, or the “easy” child in their families. As adults, they often struggle with boundaries, feel responsible for other people’s emotions, overthink everything, or lose themselves in relationships.

My approach is warm, grounded, and relational. I offer a calm, steady space where you can explore what you’re feeling, understand your patterns, and reconnect with parts of yourself that have been overlooked, silenced, or overwhelmed. Therapy with me is collaborative, we work at your pace, without pressure or judgement.

I believe you don’t have to keep living from old roles that were never meant to be yours. Together, we’ll make sense of where these patterns came from and support you in building a life with more clarity, self-worth, and emotional freedom.

I work online with adults experiencing:

• anxiety, chronic worry, and overthinking
• people-pleasing and difficulty saying no
• guilt, fear, or discomfort around boundaries
• codependency and familiar but draining relationship patterns
• negative self-talk, shame, or low self-worth
• self-abandonment and feeling “too responsible” for others
• the impact of quietly dysfunctional or emotionally disconnected family systems
• parentification or being the strong/reliable one in childhood

My practice is trauma-informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from person-centred, psychodynamic, and parts-based approaches to help you understand your emotional world, build internal safety, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

We’ll explore both what’s happening in your life now and the earlier experiences that shaped your patterns, always at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

The first session is a gentle space for us to meet and see if working together feels right for you. There is no pressure to share everything at once, many people arrive feeling anxious, unsure where to start, or worried about saying the “wrong” thing. This is completely normal.

We’ll talk about what’s brought you to therapy, what you’re struggling with, and what you’re hoping for. I’ll explain how I work, answer any questions you may have, and outline what therapy with me might look like.

You’re welcome to take your time, pause, or ask for clarification whenever you need to. My aim is to offer a calm and supportive space where you can begin to feel safe, understood, and grounded.

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll arrange a regular weekly session time and begin working together at a pace that suits you.

I offer online therapy Monday to Friday, between 9:00 and 17:00 (CET), from my base in Sevilla. Meeting during the daytime creates a calm, spacious environment for reflection and emotional support, without the pressure of squeezing therapy into hectic evenings.

Online sessions provide flexibility and privacy, whether you’re living in Sevilla, elsewhere in Spain, or travelling between countries. Many people feel more settled and grounded when attending therapy from the comfort of their own home.

Sessions take place via a secure video platform, with your confirmation and link sent in advance. I offer flexibility where possible, life happens, while maintaining a consistent, reliable therapeutic rhythm.

If you’re unsure whether daytime appointments will work for you, feel free to reach out and we can explore options together.

English-Speaking Therapist in Sevilla | Anxiety, Stress, Low Mood, Relationships & Life Transitions

Hello, I’m Catriona, a UK-trained, BACP-registered therapist based in Sevilla, offering online therapy to English-speaking adults across Spain, the UK, and Europe.

I support clients experiencing a broad range of emotional and relational challenges, including:

As an English-speaking therapist based in Sevilla, I support adults across Spain, the UK, and Europe through online therapy. 

My approach is relational, integrative, trauma-informed, and person-centred, offering a warm, steady space to explore whatever feels overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally heavy.

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of challenges, including:

Before beginning therapy, we’ll have a complimentary 20–30 minute discovery call. This isn’t a therapy session, but a gentle space to explore what brings you here, what you’re hoping for, and how I work. It’s an opportunity for you to get a sense of me and ask any questions, and for us both to consider whether the fit feels right. A good therapeutic relationship is essential, you deserve to work with someone you feel safe with, understood by, and comfortable being yourself around.

During the call, I’ll invite you to share a little about what’s been going on for you. There’s no pressure to tell your whole story or go into anything before you're ready. We’ll talk about what you’d like support with, what feels important for you right now, and what you hope might change or feel different over time.

I’ll also explain my approach, what sessions can look like, and how we would work together, including pace, boundaries, and what support might feel like in practice. You’re welcome to ask anything you need, whether practical or emotional.

This call is simply a starting point, a space to check in with yourself and notice whether you feel seen, at ease, and supported. If it feels like a good match, we can arrange our first full session. And if not, that’s completely okay. The aim is for you to feel empowered and informed in choosing the right therapist for you. Your wellbeing, comfort, and autonomy always come first.

I offer online therapy via secure video sessions for adults based anywhere in the UK.

I currently have availability for weekly sessions during daytime and early evening hours (Monday–Friday).

I work long-term or short-term depending on your needs, and I aim to offer a consistent session time each week so you have a predictable and grounded space for yourself.

Please get in touch for my current availability or to book an initial discovery session.

I’m a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist, and I support people who are living with anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and the long-lasting impact of growing up in a family that looked fine on the outside but felt emotionally confusing underneath.

Many of my clients were the “responsible one”, the “strong one”, or the “easy one” in their families. As adults they find themselves overthinking, struggling with boundaries, feeling responsible for other people’s feelings, or losing themselves in relationships.

My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I work relationally, which means the therapeutic relationship becomes a safe place to explore patterns, build self-trust, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others. I don’t rush or push; instead, I help you slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside you, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been ignored, silenced, or overwhelmed.

I believe therapy works best when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My role is to help you gently unlearn old roles and responses that no longer serve you, so you can move towards a life with more ease, self-worth, and emotional clarity.

I offer online therapy to adults with:

• anxiety, chronic worry, and overthinking
• people-pleasing and difficulty saying no
• guilt or fear around setting boundaries
• codependency and relationship patterns that feel familiar but draining
• self-criticism, shame, and low self-worth
• emotional detachment, numbness, or disconnection
• the impact of quietly dysfunctional or emotionally unavailable family systems
• parentification, being the “strong one”, or over-responsibility in childhood

My practice is grounded in relational, trauma-informed, and integrative therapeutic approaches. This means I draw from several models, including person-centred, psychodynamic, and parts-based work, to support you in understanding your emotional world, developing healthier boundaries, building internal safety, and reconnecting with your own needs.

Together, we explore both your present-day experiences and the deeper patterns that shaped them, at a pace that feels safe for you.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and to see whether working together feels like a good fit. There’s no pressure to share everything at once, many people come feeling anxious, unsure, or worried about saying the “wrong” thing. That’s completely okay.

During this session, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re struggling with, and what you’re hoping for. I’ll also explain how I work, answer any questions you may have, and outline what therapy with me might look like.

You’re welcome to take your time, ask for clarification, or pause whenever you need to. My aim is to offer a space where you can begin to feel safe, understood, and supported as you start this process.

If we both feel it’s a good match, we’ll arrange a regular session time and begin working at a pace that feels steady and manageable for you.

I offer online therapy to adults in Rowlands Gill and the wider North East, as well as clients across the UK.

My approach is warm, grounded, and relational. I offer a steady, compassionate space where you can understand your feelings, explore your patterns, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been overlooked, silenced, or overwhelmed. Therapy with me is collaborative — we move at your pace, without pressure or judgement.

I believe you don’t have to stay stuck in old emotional roles or survival strategies. Together, we’ll explore where these patterns came from and support you in building a life with more clarity, self-worth, and emotional ease.

I work online with adults experiencing:

• anxiety, chronic worry, and overthinking
• people-pleasing and difficulty saying no
• guilt, fear, or discomfort around boundaries
• codependency and exhausting but familiar relationship patterns
• negative self-talk, shame, or low self-worth
• self-abandonment and over-responsibility
• the impact of quietly dysfunctional or emotionally unavailable family systems
• parentification, being the “strong one”, or carrying too much emotionally in childhood

My practice is trauma-informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from person-centred, psychodynamic, and parts-based approaches to help you make sense of your emotional world, build internal safety, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

We’ll explore what’s brought you to therapy, what you’re finding difficult, and what you’re hoping for. I’ll explain how I work, answer your questions, and outline what therapy with me might look like.

I offer online therapy sessions Monday to Friday, between 9:00 and 17:00 (CET). Daytime sessions allow us to work when your mind and nervous system are more settled, rather than squeezing your emotional needs into the edges of the day.

Online therapy offers flexibility and privacy, allowing you to connect from wherever feels most comfortable, at home, while travelling, or living abroad. Many clients find that being in a familiar space helps them feel grounded and open during sessions.

Sessions take place via a secure video platform, with a confirmation and link sent in advance. I offer flexibility when possible, life happens, while maintaining a consistent, reliable rhythm for your work.

If you’re unsure whether daytime sessions fit your schedule, feel free to reach out. We can explore what’s possible together so therapy feels supportive and unhurried.

Online Therapist | Self-Doubt, People-Pleasing, Anxiety & Boundaries | Serving Altrincham & Cheshire

Hello, I’m Catriona, a UK-trained, BACP-registered therapist offering online therapy for adults in Altrincham, Cheshire, and across the UK.

I specialise in supporting people who feel stuck in self-doubt, anxiety, people-pleasing, codependence, toxic or unstable relationship patterns, poor boundaries, emotional responsibility, negative self-talk, and the pressure to cope alone.

Many clients come to therapy not because something is “wrong” with them, but because they’re exhausted from repeating the same painful dynamics, feeling overwhelmed in relationships, doubting themselves constantly, or carrying everyone else’s emotions at the expense of their own wellbeing.

Often, clients appear capable and caring on the outside, while inside they experience:

• Persistent self-doubt or self-criticism
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or constant internal pressure
• Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt
• Feeling responsible for others’ emotions
• Being drawn to or stuck in toxic or unbalanced relationships
• Fear of rejection or fear of upsetting others
• Confusion about needs, limits, or identity
• Overthinking and decision paralysis

These patterns rarely appear out of nowhere. They often begin in environments where emotional safety was inconsistent, where you learned to stay small, stay strong, avoid conflict, or keep the peace. Over time, these survival strategies can follow you into adult relationships, leading to unhealthy dynamics, anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional over-responsibility, and losing yourself in relationships.

Therapy offers a space to understand these patterns with compassion, and begin building a more grounded, confident, and self-trusting relationship with yourself.

As an online therapist serving Altrincham, Cheshire, and the wider UK, I support adults who struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, people-pleasing, codependent dynamics, toxic relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, poor boundaries, negative self-talk and chronic guilt.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that real change happens through safety, understanding, and genuine connection, not fixing, judging, or forcing. I don’t see you as a problem to solve, but as someone whose responses once made sense in the context you grew up in.

Together, we work toward a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected, a life where you no longer have to abandon yourself to maintain relationships or keep the peace.

My work is integrative and person-centred, drawing from a range of approaches to support your unique pace and needs.

Therapy with me isn’t about performing or having everything together. It’s a collaborative process where we explore your inner world with honesty and curiosity. I offer both a steady presence and a gentle challenge, helping you step outside old beliefs, assumptions, and survival strategies to see what’s supporting you, and what’s keeping you stuck.

Some sessions may feel gentle; others may feel emotionally challenging. Both are part of the work. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system and your capacity, ensuring you feel grounded and supported as deeper layers unfold.

Through this process of compassionate exploration, many people begin to relate to themselves differently, with more clarity, confidence, compassion, and self-trust. Over time, they find their relationships become healthier, their decision-making clearer, and their sense of self stronger and more stable.

Before beginning therapy, we’ll have a complimentary 20–30 minute discovery call. This isn’t a therapy session, but a gentle space to explore what brings you here, what you’re hoping for, and how I work. It’s an opportunity for you to get a sense of me and ask any questions, and for us both to consider whether the fit feels right. A good therapeutic relationship is essential, you deserve to work with someone you feel safe with, understood by, and comfortable being yourself around.

During the call, I’ll invite you to share a little about what’s been going on for you. There’s no pressure to tell your whole story or go into anything before you're ready. We’ll talk about what you’d like support with, what feels important for you right now, and what you hope might change or feel different over time.

I’ll also explain my approach, what sessions can look like, and how we would work together, including pace, boundaries, and what support might feel like in practice. You’re welcome to ask anything you need, whether practical or emotional.

This call is simply a starting point, a space to check in with yourself and notice whether you feel seen, at ease, and supported. If it feels like a good match, we can arrange our first full session. And if not, that’s completely okay. The aim is for you to feel empowered and informed in choosing the right therapist for you. Your wellbeing, comfort, and autonomy always come first.
