About Catherine
Catherine Robinson is a counsellor registered with NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) and has 18 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and anger, and she supports people facing trauma, addiction and changes in life circumstances.
She uses a person-centred way of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and then try practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Catherine also draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Sessions are straightforward. Catherine listens, helps people name what is going on, and then suggests exercises and skills to try between meetings. Those tools often include noticing thoughts, experimenting with different responses, and building clearer communication around conflict and resentment.
Her background includes long-term work with people from LGBT communities, those managing ADHD or bipolar symptoms, and people coping with grief, chronic illness or caregiver stress. She has experience supporting people after physical and emotional trauma and with issues around intimacy and self‑esteem.
Practicalities matter to her practice. She understands busy schedules and offers flexible slots. Catherine asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and then book a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and times via the platform.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while helping people commit to actions that matter. It can be useful for persistent anger, anxiety and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical experiments to test and change unhelpful patterns. That is often helpful for stress, sleep problems and anger-related behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication, helping people understand why they respond strongly in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the client based on their goals and preferences. She frames this as a collaborative process and adjusts tools as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify session delivery modes, so confirm exact online session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try techniques at home and bring real‑time situations into discussion. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors using these approaches, can adapt exercises and between-session tasks for remote meetings so practical skills are still practised.
