Therapy with me isn’t about being perfect or having the right words.
It’s about having a space where you can show up exactly as you are and know that I will too.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or like no one really hears you?
You don’t have to carry it alone.
Hiya I’m Catherine, an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Northern Ireland.
I believe every person deserves a safe and supportive space to explore their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
My approach has been described by clients as warm, compassionate, and surprisingly normal, whatever that means. I show up as myself in the room (sometimes with a coffee in hand, always as a real person), and I find that when I do, it makes it much easier for you to be yourself too.
Clients often tell me they feel like they can just be themselves with me, no jargon, no pressure, just honest, down-to-earth conversation. I won’t expect you to filter what you’re saying or have everything neatly figured out. You can come in exactly as you are, even if that means you’re overwhelmed, fed up, or don’t quite know where to start.
I tailor sessions to your unique needs, drawing from different theories and techniques so that our work together is centred around what actually works for you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Counselling can be whatever you need it to be, whether that’s making sense of what’s going on right now, working through past experiences, thinking about where you’re heading, or simply having space to reflect on your week.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:
Kind, understanding and keeps me honest so I can always face my biggest issues straight on.
She’s easy to speak to and makes you feel at rest
Amazingly helpful, first time trying therapy. Aware you should go to multiple therapists to find the right fit. I found mine first time, I'm somewhere over 12 sessions in now and from the start it's been helpful, but becomes even more so as sessions continue. Thank you.
Kind, cut through all the noise, makes me think about things in a way that makes them less daunting. Amazing understanding and makes me feel seen
Such a motivating and uplifting therapist! She has supported me with many techniques that help me manage uncomfortable situations!
A genuine and authentic person with a willingness to support on a healing journey. Clear, open and resourceful, I can recommend Catherine to others using BetterHelp.
