About Catherine
Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses an open, straightforward style to help people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship strains and codependency concerns. Catherine holds NCPS and brings 18 years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can share what brought them to therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as on understanding feelings and patterns that repeat in relationships. Catherine invites people to describe their current mental health struggles so she can tailor support to each situation.
Her background includes long-term work with depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addictions, and with LGBTQ concerns. She also supports people facing grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, sleep problems and intimacy-related issues. That breadth means she has seen many ways life circumstances affect mood and connection.
In practice she blends person-centred listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and DBT to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Attachment-based ideas also inform her work when relationship history matters. The focus is on small, manageable changes people can use between sessions.
Catherine offers flexible scheduling and aims to include evening and weekend slots to fit busy lives. To start, she asks people to explain what they are finding hard now so she can suggest a way forward that fits their needs and commitments.
How Catherine’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them. It focuses on what matters to you and small steps that move you toward those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical experiments to change unhelpful cycles. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting, and can help when relationship history fuels present difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Catherine will work collaboratively to see which methods feel most useful for your goals and preferences. She will listen to what you want to change and suggest ways of working together rather than imposing one method.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins during a day off work. It also lets people use strategies and exercises in the environment where they live and cope, which can make practice between sessions more practical and immediate.
