Background and approach

Catherine works with people who struggle with addiction, compulsive behaviors, and trauma and abuse histories. Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. Catherine blends practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with mindful awareness and acceptance-based tools.

She uses short-term skills for managing symptoms alongside deeper conversations about patterns and meaning. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Catherine uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what matters and to build small, sustainable changes.

Many clients leave sessions with clear steps to try between meetings. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through difficult emotions and make concrete plans. Catherine helps people sharpen communication, set boundaries, and reconnect with what gives life purpose.

Her style is warm, direct, and practical.

Evidence-based approaches that work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting controlled by them and then take small steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and people feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and compulsive habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Catherine will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try approaches, track progress, and adjust methods so therapy fits the person's life and needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations from home, phone sessions can fit busy schedules, and live chat or text messaging support work between meetings. These options help people keep momentum, practice new skills in day-to-day situations, and maintain a steady routine of care.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
