How client-centred approaches work in online therapy

Catherine uses client-centred therapy, which means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead. This approach focuses on understanding feelings and helping people express what matters to them, useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.

She also brings a practical focus when chronic illness or pain affects daily life. Conversations look at how symptoms impact routines and mood, and then consider small, achievable changes to make life easier.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will talk through different ways to proceed and agree on what feels most helpful for your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats mentioned in the biography are video and audio messaging after initial contact. If you need other ways to meet, please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to attend.
