About Me Report

I hold a Masters (distinction) in Psychodynamic Counselling from Birkbeck College, London University and am a registered and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In 2017, I completed a three year advanced training in a new, evidence based therapy: Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP).

What is Counselling Report

We all wish for a feeling of well-being and fulfilment but many of us feel the opposite: dissatisfied and unhappy. Often this is a result of many conflicting feelings that restrict fulfilment and happiness and cause pain and confusion. Counselling enables us to untangle, understand and accept the array of powerful emotions that affect so much of our life.

Testimonials Report

I contacted Catherine when suffering from depression, anxiety and self-doubt. With her help, I have gone through a valuable journey and now feel much more at peace and secure in myself. I am now back on my feet and can walk confidently again. I was a patient of Catherine's for 18 months; during this time, I was able to work through my reaction to deep-rooted issues that were impacting negatively on my work and home life.

It’s been such a privilege to work with such an amazing therapist. It is difficult to express in words how much therapy with Catherine has meant for my life. She is the go-to therapist in my opinion after having had experience with other therapists.
She will not take you down some easy pleasant road just because that is where you want to visit- she will go with you into the depth of your emotions, help you excavate what needs to be brought to light, and patiently be your most loving and supportive guide as you work through it and find your way to the other side. And she will then celebrate all

When I began having counselling sessions with Catherine, I was taking a year out from university due to debilitating anxiety. She taught me how to manage my symptoms and helped me to understand the underlying issues behind the anxiety and how to start overcoming them. With her help, I managed to graduate, and I am now feeling the most emotionally robust and happy since I can remember.

Report

I began counselling sessions with Catherine after suffering from extreme stress and anxiety at work and in my home life. The stress and anxiety had got to the stage where I did not even want to leave the house. Catherine helped me understand where my problems had originated from , why the problems were happening, and gave me the mental tools I needed to recover from my issues.
I am now back at work and am better equipped to deal with work/life balance in general. I regard the counselling I received from Catherine to be the main reason that I am now able to do this.

Report

Catherine helped me to work through a lot of traumatic experiences, which were causing me daily distress. Her sessions are longer than usually and her methods more intense, and as a result I felt much better even after just a couple of sessions.
