About Catherine
NCPS. Catherine Robinson has 18 years' experience in counselling and works from a person-centred perspective combined with cognitive behavioural methods. She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions and grief. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Catherine frames work around what each person brings to the room. She uses person-centred counselling to listen without judgement and to help people identify what matters to them. She also draws on CBT and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to introduce practical strategies for coping and behaviour change.
Clients commonly bring worries about stress, sleeping, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Catherine also supports people affected by chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image and commitment or control issues. Other focus areas listed include attachment difficulties, autism and bereavement concerns.
Her approach aims to combine reflective listening with straightforward techniques. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviours, practicing skills for emotion regulation, or exploring patterns in close relationships. Sessions are described in plain terms so people know what to expect.
Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a prospective client is asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Catherine arranges some evening and weekend slots to fit busy schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It teaches practical moves such as defusion and values-based actions that can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity, often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions.Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, reflection and helping people find their own solutions. That approach supports people who want a non-directive space to talk through emotions and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss different methods and agree a plan with each person based on their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a longer clinic visit is difficult. Different formats can suit different purposes for example shorter phone check-ins for quick updates or video sessions when face-to-face interaction is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose what will work best in practice.
