About Catherine

Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor (NCPS) with 18 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictions, sleeping problems, low self-esteem and LGBT related concerns.

Catherine combines person-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural techniques in a straightforward way. Sessions focus on what the client brings, and practical steps are used when helpful. She draws on elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to address patterns that affect relationships and self-worth.

Her work often looks at everyday pressures young adults face - starting careers, leaving home, relationship changes and the strain of comparison. Catherine pays attention to how past hurts and attachment experiences shape current choices and reactions. She helps people talk through these patterns and try different ways of coping.

Catherine describes her approach as honest and non-judgemental. In sessions she aims to be patient and flexible about scheduling. People are invited to describe their current mental health concerns and practical goals for therapy.

She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Catherine uses evidence-based approaches online

Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It aims to build understanding and let clients lead the topics they want to work on. This approach is often useful for people figuring out life transitions and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviours and test small changes. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and practical day-to-day coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with motivation and living despite uncomfortable feelings.

Deciding which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that suit the client's needs rather than assuming one method from the start.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around study or work commitments and avoiding travel time. If you need clarity on which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practise skills between meetings.
