About Catherine
Catherine Vincent is a PACFA counsellor with 12 years of clinical experience. She starts by listening and helping people find strengths in their story. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at small, steady changes that make life easier.
She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns and addictions. Catherine also supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment challenges, caregiving strain, chronic illness and body image. Her practice acknowledges the complexity of overlapping issues and focuses on manageable steps forward.
Catherine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different actions. She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when needed, and keeps sessions centred on the person rather than the label.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. Catherine emphasises clear goals, simple skills to practise between meetings, and checking what works for the person. She helps people build routines that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.
People who prefer a respectful, practical style find her helpful. She encourages honesty about what is hard and what has worked before. The first step is a short matching process and scheduling according to her availability.
How her main approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and ongoing life frustration because it focuses on meaningful behaviour rather than trying to eliminate every difficult thought.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical strategies to test and change patterns that keep problems going, which can help with depression, anxiety and some relationship worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest a way of working that fits. That plan can change as progress is made, and the choice of methods is collaborative rather than fixed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find a video conversation supports learning new skills, while others prefer a simpler setup that suits their schedule. Appropriately qualified therapists will help match the format to practical needs and goals.
