About Catherine

Catherine Cassells is a counsellor who draws on person-centred ways of working, then adds practical tools to help with everyday problems. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to help people make changes that fit their life. Catherine focuses on stress and anxiety and supports people facing relationship and family challenges.

She also helps those coping with parenting pressures and major life changes. Her work covers issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family concerns, and communication breakdowns.

Background and approach

Her sessions often include ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s experience central. This means Catherine listens first, then suggests techniques that match what the person wants to try. Motivational interviewing and existential perspectives also shape conversations about meaning and choices.

With three years of experience, she offers practical ways to manage mood, guilt, shame and isolation. She also works with people dealing with chronic pain, caregiver stress, financial worries and midlife questions. The approach is straightforward and paced to what each person needs.

Catherine holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and she offers online formats to make meeting easier. To begin, clients follow a simple matching and scheduling process using the site’s Start Therapy button.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them. It focuses on identifying values and taking small actions that move a person towards the life they want, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood. The counsellor reflects what the person says and follows their pace, creating space for people to find their own answers when dealing with relationship or parenting worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It includes simple, practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping with problems like anxiety or mood issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Catherine will explore needs, goals and preferences with each person and agree a plan together. That collaborative process means techniques are chosen to fit the person rather than imposed.

Online therapy supports different ways to meet. Video calls allow fuller conversation with visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can work for brief reflections or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and to continue work regardless of location.
