About Catherine
Counsellor Catherine Cassells is a BACP member with three years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting matters and coping with life changes. Catherine sees people in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Catherine describes an integrative approach that draws on person-centred principles alongside other methods. In practice she uses acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and motivational interviewing to help people notice unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that people can try between meetings.
She also addresses problems linked to attachment and abandonment, blended family issues, care-giver strain, chronic pain and illness, and communication difficulties. Catherine works with people facing divorce or separation, money worries, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife questions. Her approach aims to make complex problems easier to talk about.
Catherine asks people to set clear, realistic goals for therapy. Sessions typically involve talking through current difficulties, identifying small changes and practising different ways of responding. She adapts methods to suit the person’s needs and preferences rather than following one fixed method.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling
Catherine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on what matters to them and to try small actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and when people feel stuck in unhelpful thoughts.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. CBT techniques often involve setting small tasks between sessions and practising different ways of responding to difficult moods or situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine discusses goals, preferences and what has helped before, and she will agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as needs change.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals often use digital sessions to keep regular contact while people manage busy lives.
