Hello, my name is Catherine and I offer face-to- face counselling for individuals at Cornerstone.

The decision to have therapy can be a tough one to make and having got as far as to be looking at therapist profiles, you have already taken a step towards untangling some of the difficult issues in your life. 

I can offer you a warm, safe and empathic space, with assured confidentiality, where you can talk about and explore what is going on for you. Your therapy time is your space to talk about whatever is on your mind, with the knowledge that you will be treated with kindness, respect and without judgement.  

I am a qualified integrative therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. ‘Integrative’ means that I am trained to work with theories and techniques from different types of therapy. However, the humanist approach to therapy is always at the core of the way I work because this approach recognises the client’s power, self-knowledge and capacity for personal growth. These are characteristics that I value and are meaningful to me in my work with clients.  

My qualifications in this area are a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have also recently completed a Master’s degree in Integrative Counselling. This was research based and my research area was aspects of bereavement.

I have experience in the following areas:

• Bereavement and Loss
• Depression and Low Mood
• Anxiety
• Procrastination/Worry/Rumination
• Emotional Abuse
• Addiction
• Behaviour Patterns

My charge is £50 for a 50-minute session.
