Online counselling for adults 鈥� with an experienced, values-led counsellor

I'm Catriona, a 麻豆原创-registered counsellor with nearly 20 years' experience working therapeutically in NHS, education, and community settings.

A few things make my practice a little different. I've spent much of my career working with people who have felt overlooked, misunderstood, or excluded 鈥� and that shapes how I work. And I draw on a training in both counselling and play therapy, to offer support that is attuned, flexible, and human. 

I work online with adults and I bring specialist experience with young adults and with parents and carers of children with SEND.

I'm passionate about helping people to understand themselves more deeply and to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

My approach is person-centred, which means I focus on building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel safe, accepted, and understood 鈥� a space where you can be your true self.

I won鈥檛 tell you what to do or try to 鈥渇ix鈥� you. Instead, I will listen carefully and share reflections, professional knowledge, and ideas to support your understanding, healing and growth.

After working with me, previous clients have shared that they:

鈥� Feel calmer and more grounded

鈥� Feel more confident

鈥� Are more self-aware and self-accepting

鈥� Have better strategies for coping with stress and overwhelm

鈥� Experience improved relationships

鈥� Have greater self-direction and motivation

I offer a warm, non-judgemental, and inclusive space. I welcome clients of all ethnicities, genders, sexualities, faiths, abilities and neurotypes. I am committed to working in a respectful, affirming, and anti-oppressive way. I recognise the impact that inequality and discrimination have on people鈥檚 lives and their mental health.

Supporting your nervous system

My work is informed by polyvagal theory, which looks at how our nervous system responds to stress and safety. In simple terms, this helps us understand why you might feel anxious, shut down, or on edge 鈥� and how to bring your body and mind back into balance.

Where helpful, I support clients to recognise these responses and develop practical ways to feel calmer and more emotionally regulated in daily life.

If you're wondering whether counselling could help, you're welcome to book a free 15-minute phone call. It's a relaxed, no-obligation chat 鈥� a chance to ask questions, share a little of what's been going on, and get a sense of whether working together feels right. 

In the first session, we will go through the counselling contract and practical arrangements, and I will carry out an initial assessment to help understand your needs and what you are hoping for from counselling.

As part of the assessment I will take notes and you are welcome to ask questions at any point. 

The session is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of how it feels to work together.

Some experiences are difficult to talk about, even with those closest to us. I offer a safe, confidential space where you can bring whatever is affecting you, without fear of judgement. You don鈥檛 have to worry about feeling like a burden, as you might with others.

I have nearly 20 years鈥� experience working therapeutically with adults, adolescents and children. I provide online counselling for adults and have a specialist experience and interest in supporting young adults (18-25) and parents of children with SEND.

My approach is person-centred, which means I focus on building a genuine, trusting relationship where you feel safe, accepted, and understood 鈥� a space where you can be your true self.

I won鈥檛 tell you what to do or try to 鈥渇ix鈥� you. Instead, I will listen carefully and share reflections, professional knowledge, and ideas to support your understanding, healing and growth.

My aim is to help you understand yourself more deeply, develop healthier ways of coping, and connect with your own inner strength and resources.
