Catherine Donnelly

I am available throughout the week and have some evening and weekend availability if required.

I'm an experienced counsellor based in the heart of the Lake District. I am happy to offer long or short term therapy depending on individual need, which I will always listen to. I always strive to put my clients at ease and I like to adopt an approach that is friendly and warm. I don't like to overcomplicate things because I think counselling can already feel overwhelming enough, therefore my approach always relies on two key principles: authenticity and compassion, which I hope to be able to share with you through therapy.

I offer in-person therapy from my own dedicated counselling space, which has unique views overlooking the Lake District mountains. My therapy room is a peaceful and comfortable place for clients to visit for face to face therapy. However, I also offer online counselling because I understand that talking in your own environment sometimes feels a better fit. Fundamentally, I always strive to put my clients comfort first. I work flexibly in terms of my weekly availability and sessions are open ended, meaning my clients have the autonomy to decide how many sessions they might want or need. 

I offer a free introductory phone call to discuss the therapy process and to see if I might be the right therapist for you. After this has been carried out, sessions can be arranged weekly, fortnightly or even monthly depending on individual need. I do not ask for any minimum commitments or pre payment for therapy sessions.
