About Catherine
Counsellor Catherine Robinson is a member of NCPS and has 18 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addictions. She works in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English. Catherine describes her main practice as person-centred while using other approaches to meet individual needs.
She blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions often begin with listening and helping people say what matters most to them. Practical CBT tools may be introduced to address thoughts, sleep, anger or day-to-day coping skills.
Catherine also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based perspectives. These approaches look at values, meaningful action and how early relationships shape current patterns. They are commonly used for relationship strain, intimacy issues and for processing aspects of past hurt.
Her background covers many themes beyond the main concerns. These include grief, self-esteem, bipolar, compassion fatigue, LGBT issues, family and caregiving stress, body image and chronic illness. She also notes experience with autism, commitment problems and communication difficulties.
Sessions can be arranged with an awareness of busy schedules. The profile notes evening and weekend slots are part of how she aims to work with people who need flexibility. To begin, the site process asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session.
How her approach translates to online counselling
Person-centred counselling focuses on being listened to and understood. The counsellor offers a space where the client sets the agenda and explores what feels important. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is practical and task-focused. It looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers tools to help with anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss what seems most helpful and make decisions with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. This will often combine listening with practical exercises or values-based actions.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also suit quieter conversations when someone prefers not to commute. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt methods like person-centred listening and CBT exercises to work by remote session where appropriate.
