About Catherine

Catherine Cassells is a counsellor who works from an existential perspective alongside other practical approaches. She aims to help people make sense of life changes, stresses and relationship challenges in straightforward ways. Catherine uses clear conversation and focused techniques to help people find workable steps forward.

She brings three years of clinical experience and practices with British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) membership shown as BACP. Her style centres on a person-focused way of working, building on the individual's values and choices.

Background and approach

Sessions are tailored to each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. In practice she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for skills and tools to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She also uses client-centred ideas to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s experience.

This mix lets her address stress, anxiety, mood issues and difficulties with relationships in practical terms. Catherine supports people dealing with parenting strain, blended family worries, separation, grief and life purpose questions. She also helps with problems such as attachment and abandonment, guilt and shame, caregiver stress, chronic illness and money-related anxiety.

Sessions aim to be manageable and goal-orientated so people can try small changes between meetings. People can work with Catherine by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries where online work is appropriate.

How Catherine’s approaches work online

Existential therapy helps people look at meaning and choice in their lives. It focuses on what matters to you and how to live with uncertainty, which can be useful for midlife questions, purpose concerns and major life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still taking actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and situations where pain or illness get in the way of daily life.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows your pace, helping you find your own solutions rather than directing you.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Catherine will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you will try approaches and adjust them based on what helps you make steady, realistic changes.

Online therapy with Catherine uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face style conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and busy days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
