About Catherine
NCPS, 15 years' experience. Catherine Smith works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, sleeping problems and major life changes. She uses hypnotherapy alongside talking-based work and frames clients as experts in their own stories.
Catherine keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She talks through what is troubling a person and helps identify small steps to try outside sessions. Hypnotherapy is used where a relaxed, focused state can help address habits, sleep and anxiety symptoms alongside conversation and planning.
Her approach treats people as active collaborators. She asks about what has already helped and what has not, then suggests techniques to test in everyday life. Therapy sessions include time to reflect and to set clear short-term goals that are measurable where possible.
Catherine has 15 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and is listed with NCPS. She accepts clients internationally and runs work in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Practical next steps are simple. Select the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Catherine will discuss timing, frequency and the mix of hypnotherapy and talking work at the first meeting.
How hypnotherapy and online counselling work together
Catherine uses hypnotherapy as one of her main approaches. Hypnotherapy involves guiding someone into a focused, relaxed state to work on patterns such as anxious thinking, sleep difficulty or unhelpful habits. It is often paired with discussion so changes can be tried in daily life.In practice she combines this with talking-based counselling. Conversations look at current problems, past influences and practical steps to try between sessions. The choice of methods is discussed and agreed with the client so the plan reflects their needs and preferences.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will review progress and adapt methods if something is not helping. This is a collaborative process where goals and the balance between hypnotherapy and talk work are set together.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer flexible scheduling to help integrate therapy into everyday life.
