About Catherine
Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who combines that approach with practical cognitive behavioural techniques. She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and stress. Catherine also supports those dealing with trauma, ADHD, addictions and questions about intimacy and self‑esteem.
She trained in 2007 and holds NCPS as a recorded credential. Over 18 years she has seen a wide range of problems, from grief and compassion fatigue to bipolar mood challenges and sleeping difficulties. Her work often includes issues connected to attachment and abandonment.
In sessions she aims to be open, honest and non-judgemental. Conversations are paced to each person, with space to tell the story that led them to seek help. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy are offered when they suit the person's goals.
Catherine also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, develop small changes, and build skills for coping with life shifts and emotional pain.
She is based in the United Kingdom and works with a broad range of concerns including caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency and communication problems. If someone wants to explore how therapy could help, Catherine encourages a first step of brief explanation about current struggles so she can suggest a way forward.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose values-based actions. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviours to reduce distress, which can help with depression, insomnia and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Catherine works collaboratively, discussing goals and preferences and adjusting methods as she learns what helps. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT or person-centred listening will best meet the person's needs.
The original profile does not list specific online session types, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling useful because it can fit more easily around work and family routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and practical tools for use at a distance so progress continues even between meetings.
