About Catherine

Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who blends practical talking therapy with active strategies. She holds NCPS and has been practising since 2007. Catherine aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain, and she also supports those coping with trauma and life changes.

She uses a mix of person-centred work and cognitive behavioural approaches to make sessions down-to-earth and useful. In a session she listens without judgement and then helps people try small, practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. This combination suits people who want both empathetic listening and concrete tools to manage symptoms.

Catherine has 18 years of experience working with a broad range of concerns. These include ADHD, addictions, grief, self-esteem, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue. She also works with people dealing with intimacy, anger, bipolar mood issues and long-term health challenges like chronic pain and cancer related stress.

Her background covers additional areas such as attachment issues, communication difficulties, body image and caregiver stress. Catherine describes her work as patient and flexible, and she aims to make sessions fit around busy lives by offering evening and weekend slots. She encourages people to say what they are experiencing now so she can tailor support.

People who choose her can expect an honest, empathetic and straightforward approach. Catherine emphasises collaboration and practical next steps, and she invites anyone ready to take a first step to reach out and share their story.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a practical way of spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often uses simple exercises and homework to help reduce anxiety, manage low mood and tackle sleep problems.

Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. This approach gives space to talk through feelings, feel heard and decide what changes matter most to you.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Catherine will discuss your needs and preferences and together you can choose which methods to try. That collaboration shapes the pace and focus of sessions so they match your goals.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family, and less travel time. If you prefer, check the session options before booking to confirm the exact formats offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to follow through with short check-ins, complete written exercises between meetings, and keep therapy consistent when life is busy.
