Catherine Robinson, NCPS

Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who blends that approach with cognitive behavioural techniques. She holds the NCPS credential and brings 18 years of clinical experience. Catherine works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain and other life stresses. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction and concerns linked to ageing and geriatric issues.

Her practical style focuses on listening first. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what feels difficult. Sessions are an opportunity to make sense of current struggles and decide on manageable next steps.

Over nearly two decades she has worked with a wide range of difficulties, including ADHD, OCD, grief, chronic illness and caregiver stress. This background informs a flexible approach that adapts to each person’s situation and pace.

Catherine combines client-centred listening with structured CBT tools. That mix lets conversations move from understanding to actionable change, such as new coping skills and shifts in thinking. She also uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work when helpful.

She aims to be practical about day-to-day life, offering evening and weekend slots to fit busy schedules. The first sessions focus on identifying priorities and clear small goals. Clients who want to start complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to Catherine’s availability.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to act in line with what matters to them. It can help when worry, loss or uncertainty make day-to-day life feel stalled. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small practical experiments to shift how someone thinks and behaves. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-informed work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Catherine works collaboratively to understand your priorities and suggests methods that fit your goals and preferences. You and she will check in together about what helps and make adjustments as needed.

The original biography did not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives because they cut travel time, can be scheduled around work or caring duties, and let check-ins happen on quieter days. Online work can also make it easier to use worksheets, breathing practices and brief behavioural experiments between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can tailor sessions to practical needs and daily routines.
