Approaches that inform online counselling
Catherine blends person-centred work with skills-based methods to support people remotely. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with their values so they can take small steps towards a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and practising practical strategies to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will talk through a client's goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest an approach or mix of approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Please confirm the current session options before booking because the original biography does not list explicit formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and medical appointments and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions outside standard hours, which some people find useful when juggling treatment or caregiving responsibilities.
