Catia Cosme

Catia Cosme is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and four years of professional experience. She focuses on common life and emotional challenges such as stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression. Catia aims to make the first step easier for people who are thinking about therapy.

She creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Conversations are paced to each person, with the counsellor listening first and asking practical questions to help make sense of what is happening.

Sessions often concentrate on coping strategies for day-to-day pressure and managing strong emotions such as anger. Catia also helps people reflect on relationship stresses and the ripple effects of major life changes like separation, bereavement or career shifts.

Work may include looking at patterns that keep problems repeating, and trying small, practical steps to change them. Discussions about identity, culture and life transitions are included when relevant to the persons concerns.

Catia uses straightforward language in sessions and encourages realistic, manageable goals. She supports people as they practise new ways of responding to stress and rebuild energy after difficult times.

How therapeutic approaches guide online support

Catia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on managing symptoms and changing unhelpful patterns. One commonly used approach helps people learn practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, for example breathing and grounding exercises, pacing activities and breaking problems into small steps. Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns, helping people recognise recurring interactions and try different responses to reduce conflict and isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catia treats this as a shared process, discussing options with each person and adapting methods to match their goals and preferences. The first few sessions are spent clarifying what the person wants from counselling and trying ways of working that feel comfortable.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the counsellor offers before booking. Confirming the available options helps you pick what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or switch off the camera for a less intensive meeting if that helps them engage.
