About MeÂ
Hello and Welcome. I am Catherine, an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor with a person- centred core. As a fully qualified and insured member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), I offer a range of therapy modalities to suit the unique needs of my clients. Whether you prefer face-to-face, online, or telephone sessions, I am here to support you. Based in Ossett, West Yorkshire, I provide a safe, welcoming and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Alongside my private practice, my most recent roles involve working within a hospice setting, offering specialist bereavement support. In addition to working at a charity dedicated to supporting victims of domestic abuse.
At the heart of my counselling practice is an empowering relationship where clients feel supported, understood and equipped to lead their own journey.
My Background
As someone who has faced personal challenges, I am passionate about helping others overcome their own obstacles too. I know how overwhelming it can feel to confront life’s difficulties, and I believe that no one should have to manage alone. This, combined with my genuine compassion and desire to help others, inspired me to train as a counsellor.
My experience in mental health extends beyond the counselling field, with over 10 years experience as a Social Worker, enabling me to effectively support individuals facing a wide range of personal struggles. I have experience of working with people when they feel most vulnerable, to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and create a space for individuals to express themselves.
It is both my passion and privilege to walk beside others on their journey toward healing, recognising that we all, at times, need a little extra help to navigate life's challenges!
"We don't have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to".

What I offerÂ
In a world that never seems to slow down, it’s all too easy to lose sight of our own needs. Yet, by setting time aside for yourself, we can rediscover what is important to you and place value on your personal growth and well-being.
Counselling is a therapeutic talking process that can help you make sense of your world. It’s a journey unique to you, and I am here to accompany you as we explore your thoughts, experiences, and emotions together.
Perhaps, you're unsure what's holding you back or why you are feeling stuck, that's completely okay. Sometimes, the things that hold us back are hard to identify on our own. Life's challenges can feel heavy and overwhelming, from dealing with anxiety and depression, to struggles with self- esteem, relationships, or processing loss. Whatever brings you here, I am here to offer support and help you find your path forward.
​
My approach is integrative with a person- centred focus, which means that you are at the heart of what we do, our sessions are all about you, my client. I recognise that you are the expert in your own life. During our work together I will draw on various therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs and goals. These approaches may include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness. I recognise that talking is not always a good fit for everyone, therefore I also work creatively with clients to encourage them to express themselves.
At the heart of my work is a genuine desire to help you thrive. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes of your struggles, develop effective coping strategies, and foster a greater sense of self – awareness. Through our journey together, I will guide you toward a happier, more empowered life, helping you discover newfound strength, clarity, and confidence along the way. ​

Pricing
I understand how important it is to find the right counsellor for you. That's why I offer a free telephone consultation, usually lasting around 20 minutes, where we can discuss how we might work together. Here we can discuss your hopes from counselling, answer any questions about the process and explore what I can offer you.
Each session lasts for 50 minutes and is priced at £45 per session, with concessions available for trainees/students. Please ask if you have any further questions.
​
Payment is by bank transfer and all payments must be paid in advance of the session.

How could counselling help me?
Counselling is different for everyone, but by offering a safe space, it allows individuals to openly explore their thoughts and emotions. With the support of a counsellor, you will gain valuable insight, develop effective coping strategies, and make positive changes in your life. Whatever you are dealing with, counselling provides the support necessary for change, healing and growth.
