She has four years of experience working with issues linked to chronic illness and long-term pain, and she often helps people manage the emotional impact of ongoing health problems. Other areas she works with include grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and career questions.

She asks people to be aware that she responds to messages between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. People start by choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire. Sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability and the site's subscription system, which can be cancelled at any time.

Client-centred care and online therapy options

Catherine practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people make sense of their own experience. This way of working suits problems like low self esteem, anxiety, relationship worries and anger because it follows what the person wants to work on rather than imposing a fixed plan.

She also has experience helping people with the emotional impact of chronic illness and long-term pain, using the same person-led approach to explore coping strategies and daily adjustments. That background can be useful when health problems affect mood, sleep or motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on the person's goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. Sessions and tasks are adjusted together as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to use audio or video options once contact has been made. The biography notes availability for video and audio messaging after initial contact, and indicates weekday response hours. Please confirm the exact session formats and scheduling details before booking so arrangements match your needs.
