About Catherine

Catherine Robinson is an NCPS-registered person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addiction-related concerns. Catherine also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, self-esteem challenges and feelings connected to codependency.

Catherine trained in person-centred counselling and integrates cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, then offers practical strategies to try between meetings.

People often come to her when they keep putting others first, struggle to set boundaries, or live around someone else’s drinking or moods. She invites clients to describe what is happening now, and to set small, manageable goals for change. The focus is on what feels immediately useful rather than lengthy theory.

Her style is direct and honest, with clear tools to manage anxiety, regulate moods and improve communication. Catherine includes approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when these fit the person’s needs. She can help with practical steps for better sleep, coping with life changes and reducing overwhelm.

Catherine offers evening and weekend appointments to fit busy schedules. To begin, clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. International clients can be supported in English.

How sessions work

How Catherine’s approaches can work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It encourages taking small values-based actions even when things feel uncomfortable, and can help with anxiety, avoidance and people-pleasing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. It helps people learn different ways of relating and setting boundaries when old patterns keep repeating.

Catherine combines these approaches with person-centred listening and practical CBT tools. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, test out techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, such as shorter check-ins between commitments or scheduling sessions in evenings and weekends. It also lets people use methods like ACT exercises and CBT homework without travelling, which can help practice new skills in real settings.
