About Catherine

Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who brings 18 years of experience to her work. She uses a warm, straightforward style to help people talk about stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. Catherine also supports those facing ADHD, addictions, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach blends person-centred counselling with practical cognitive behavioural techniques. In sessions she listens without judgement, helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, and works alongside them to try different ways of coping. Conversations are kept honest and down-to-earth so people can find what fits their life.

Catherine has worked across a wide range of concerns including LGBT matters, chronic illness, caregiver stress and bereavement. She also supports people dealing with anger, sleeping problems, bipolar mood challenges and the fallout from past abuse. Additional interests include attachment issues, communication problems and body image.

She aims to make therapy manageable for people with busy lives by offering flexible hours including evenings and weekends. Sessions focus on the client’s priorities and practical next steps. Catherine encourages clients to set achievable goals and review progress together.

Catherine is registered with NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and is open to working with international clients. To begin, people are invited to share what’s worrying them and explore how counselling might help.

Approaches that guide online therapy conversations

Catherine commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine treats the choice as a collaborative decision and will help clients try methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can shift emphasis over time as different issues arise and as people discover what helps them most.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy while living abroad or managing commitments that make in-person appointments difficult.
