Courage opens the door, your Journey unfolds, supported with Care
Therapy - Humanistic Integrative Counselling
I have worked in education most of my life, inspired by the youngest of minds who taught me the value of presence and the power of authenticity.
My passion for counselling began after seeking support for my own life struggles. I was so nervous, reluctant and scared of being judged. However, what I found was warmth, a space to speak freely, where I felt truly heard. This is what I strive to bring to you in our sessions. A safe space tailored to your needs. ​
"On the other side of fear lies freedom"
- Marilyn Ferguson
As an Integrative Counsellor I focus upon the therapeutic relationship. Together we will work in ways that suit you and your needs and I will provide a safe space where your voice will be heard and held therapeutically.​
​
I offer a counselling space where every person is welcomed, respected and valued, including faith, religion, culture, identity or background. My practice is grounded in openness and curiosity, creating a supportive environment where your beliefs, traditions and lived experiences are honoured without judgement. Whether you come from a long‑held spiritual path, a diverse cultural heritage, a blended identity, or no religious affiliation at all, you are invited to bring your whole self. Together, we work in a way that feels authentic to you, recognising the richness that different communities and worldviews bring to the healing process.
Testimonials
"I would highly recommend Catherine. I was really listened to with care and empathy, and supported through my emotional journey in counselling. I felt from the beginning, I made a real 'connection' with Catherine and that's what builds trust. This enabled me to be myself and feel safe. I would come away with a sense of peace and calm in mind and body. I always looked forward to my next appointment. Thank you Catherine"
