What Does Cathy do?

First of all, please let me tell you something about how I operate. I would describe myself as an Integrative Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor, using a combination of the Person Centred approach with Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic theoretical models.

Basically, this means that I believe it is the Clients themselves who hold the answers to their own questions. What I bring to the relationship is warmth, compassion and genuine respect for the client, and a safe space for them to tell their story. I offer a willingness to share the therapeutic journey with each Client, and to help them to reach the goals they set out for us to achieve. The counselling and psychotherapy theories I use can help the Client to gain some idea of the history of their present day difficulties, and offer a way forward for the Client in terms of re-structuring or re-aligning their perception or view on life. They can help them to return to their original drive towards wholeness and health.

I offer supervision to other counsellors and psychotherapists. I have been providing supervision since 2002. Please see the 'Supervision' page on my website for more information.

In addition, I am a Trainer. I am endorsed to teach Transactional Analysis by the European Association for Transactional Analysis. For more information about the training courses please go to the 'Courses' pages.


If you have any questions about of the services offered, please feel free to phone, or email. (You can use the link on this page).


Supervision is available for qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists. For further information, please read the 'Supervision' page on our website.

How to Make an Appointment?

The best way to contact me is by phone on 01208 74600. My hours of work are 0930am until 5pm. I am also available on weekday evenings for telephone calls. As I do not interrupt sessions to answer the phone, you may get the answering machine. This is confidential, and you can leave your name and number, and any message, and I will call you back. Alternatively, you can email me, I check my email daily and will respond to you as soon as I can.

What Happens Next?

Initially, I offer all potential new clients an initial assessment session. This enables us to meet and discuss any worries or concerns you may have, and to decide whether we feel that we want to work together. I also assess to see whether I would be the appropriate counsellor or therapist for you. If for any reason we decide not to work together, then I can help you with details of colleagues whom you may choose to contact. The assessment session usually lasts for about an hour.

If we decide to work together we can then decide what it is that you want to get from the counselling or psychotherapy process. We can also discuss regular review sessions so that we can keep a focus on whether you are getting what you need.

I see clients weekly, during the day. I prefer to see clients at the same time on the same day each week, but I also appreciate that this is not always possible so I am willing to negotiate times and days on an individual basis.
