About Catherine
Catherine Cassells is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family and parenting pressures, and life changes.
She uses an integrative style rooted in a person-centred approach. That means conversations begin with the client's concerns and priorities. Catherine draws on techniques from approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to respond to specific issues.
Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going. She helps people talk through communication difficulties, blended family challenges and caregiver stress. Other areas she supports include separation and divorce, feelings of abandonment, money worries and midlife concerns.
Catherine also works with people living with long-term health issues, chronic pain or disability, helping them manage daily demands and emotional strain. She offers ways to cope with guilt, shame and isolation, and supports men who are dealing with life transitions.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. People who come to her can expect clear discussion about goals and small, achievable steps between sessions. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit around life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while keeping sight of what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and difficult life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with mood and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different techniques to see what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made.
The profile does not specify exact online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter times of day or avoid camera use if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who work this way, often adapt exercises and between-session tasks for remote sessions so practical steps can continue between meetings.
