About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting, intimacy matters, self-esteem, stress and anxiety. She also helps people facing grief, addiction, mood conditions and life changes.
Catherine frames sessions around clear, respectful conversation. She focuses on what is happening at home and how it affects everyday life. Sessions are practical and direct, with attention to communication and patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her background includes work with people dealing with attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood questions and family of origin problems. She brings several ways of working to sessions, including attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural approaches and emotionally-focused tools.
Catherine often helps clients break down big problems into manageable steps. She uses straightforward exercises and talk-based interventions to shift unhelpful patterns. She pays attention to relationship dynamics and how they show up in day-to-day routines.
People who want a clear plan and practical skills for handling conflict, parenting strain, or recovering from loss may find her approach useful. To start, she asks a few questions about what you want to change and then works with you to set achievable short-term goals.
How sessions work
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationship patterns shape current interactions. It focuses on emotional bonds and can be useful for intimacy and family-related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s perspective first and relies on careful listening to build clarity about goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss options and decide together which methods fit your goals and day-to-day demands. That collaborative process helps match a strategy to issues like parenting strain, communication problems or grief.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering a quieter time that suits your schedule. Ask about the exact session types offered when you book so you can plan what works best for you.
