Counselling Psychology with Catherine
I am a counselling psychologist with over ten years of experience including an ongoing role as a senior therapist in an NHS psychological therapy service.
I offer therapy to individuals and couples aged 18 and over and I have experience of working with a wide range of people of diverse backgrounds, beliefs and life circumstances. For example, I have helped students adapting to university life, mothers in the postnatal period, and older people with health worries. I can offer short-term help for a specific issue, or longer-term therapy. I have experience of helping with a range of issues including anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, work related difficulties, and relationship difficulties, among other problems.
I have studied and trained in different therapeutic approaches. I use cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic approaches.
I am trained in a type of therapy called Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (or DIT), which helps to identify repetitive relationship patterns and improve the way you interact with others. I am also trained in couples therapy, helping couples to understand and accept their differences, and to improve their communication.
Depending on your difficulties and goals, we can decide together what to focus on. I am flexible in my approach as I believe that no one method of therapy is right for everyone. In the interests of ethical and effective practice, if I do not think I am the right person to help you, then I will make recommendations for where you might find the right help.
I am registered with various insurance companies including AXA, Vitality, and Aviva. Please ask me or check with your provider. I am available to meet in person or online by video call.
