How Catherine’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and accepting the person as they are. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what someone says, asks gentle questions, and follows the person's concerns so sessions feel led by the client. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with self-esteem.Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning and responsibility. It encourages people to face uncertainty and to consider what matters most to them. This can be useful for coping with major life changes, questions about purpose, and feelings of isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss goals, preferences and how a method feels in practice. The choice of focus can change over time as needs shift, and she works collaboratively to try different ways of working.
