Catriona Armstrong

I offer online therapy to adults in Rowlands Gill and the wider North East, as well as clients across the UK.

I currently have availability for weekly sessions during daytime and early evening hours (Monday鈥揊riday).

Sessions take place via secure video, and we will agree on a regular weekly time so you have a reliable, consistent space for yourself.

Please get in touch for my current availability or to arrange an initial complimentary appointment to talk about your needs.

I鈥檓 a 麻豆原创-registered counsellor and psychotherapist, supporting adults who live with anxiety, people-pleasing, chronic self-doubt, and the long-term effects of growing up in a family that looked 鈥渘ormal鈥� from the outside but was emotionally confusing or disconnected underneath.

Many of the people I work with were the responsible one, the strong one, or the 鈥渆asy鈥� child in their family. As adults, they often find themselves overthinking, struggling with boundaries, feeling responsible for other people鈥檚 emotions, or losing themselves in relationships.

My approach is warm, grounded, and relational. I offer a steady, compassionate space where you can understand your feelings, explore your patterns, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been overlooked, silenced, or overwhelmed. Therapy with me is collaborative 鈥� we move at your pace, without pressure or judgement.

I believe you don鈥檛 have to stay stuck in old emotional roles or survival strategies. Together, we鈥檒l explore where these patterns came from and support you in building a life with more clarity, self-worth, and emotional ease.

I work online with adults experiencing:

• anxiety, chronic worry, and overthinking
• people-pleasing and difficulty saying no
• guilt, fear, or discomfort around boundaries
• codependency and exhausting but familiar relationship patterns
• negative self-talk, shame, or low self-worth
• self-abandonment and over-responsibility
• the impact of quietly dysfunctional or emotionally unavailable family systems
• parentification, being the 鈥渟trong one鈥�, or carrying too much emotionally in childhood

My practice is trauma-informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from person-centred, psychodynamic, and parts-based approaches to help you make sense of your emotional world, build internal safety, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

We explore both what鈥檚 happening in your life right now and the earlier experiences that shaped those patterns, always at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

The first session is an opportunity for us to meet and see whether working together feels right. You don鈥檛 need to share everything straight away, it鈥檚 completely normal to arrive feeling unsure, anxious, or worried about getting it 鈥渨rong鈥�.

We鈥檒l explore what鈥檚 brought you to therapy, what you鈥檙e finding difficult, and what you鈥檙e hoping for. I鈥檒l explain how I work, answer your questions, and outline what therapy with me might look like.

You can take your time, ask for clarification, or pause whenever you need to. My aim is to offer a calm, supportive space where you feel safe, understood, and grounded.

If it feels like a good fit, we鈥檒l agree a regular weekly session time and begin working at a pace that feels steady and manageable for you.

I offer online therapy Monday to Friday, between 9:00 and 17:00 (CET), from my base in Sevilla. Meeting during the daytime creates a calm, spacious environment for reflection and emotional support, without the pressure of squeezing therapy into hectic evenings.

Online sessions provide flexibility and privacy, whether you鈥檙e living in Sevilla, elsewhere in Spain, or travelling between countries. Many people feel more settled and grounded when attending therapy from the comfort of their own home.

Sessions take place via a secure video platform, with your confirmation and link sent in advance. I offer flexibility where possible, life happens, while maintaining a consistent, reliable therapeutic rhythm.

If you鈥檙e unsure whether daytime appointments will work for you, feel free to reach out and we can explore options together.

English-Speaking Therapist in Sevilla | Anxiety, Stress, Low Mood, Relationships & Life Transitions

Hello, I鈥檓 Catriona, a UK-trained, 麻豆原创-registered therapist based in Sevilla, offering online therapy to English-speaking adults across Spain, the UK, and Europe.

I support clients experiencing a broad range of emotional and relational challenges, including:

As an English-speaking therapist based in Sevilla, I support adults across Spain, the UK, and Europe through online therapy. 

My approach is relational, integrative, trauma-informed, and person-centred, offering a warm, steady space to explore whatever feels overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally heavy.

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of challenges, including:

Before beginning therapy, we鈥檒l have a complimentary 20鈥�30 minute discovery call. This isn鈥檛 a therapy session, but a gentle space to explore what brings you here, what you鈥檙e hoping for, and how I work. It鈥檚 an opportunity for you to get a sense of me and ask any questions, and for us both to consider whether the fit feels right. A good therapeutic relationship is essential, you deserve to work with someone you feel safe with, understood by, and comfortable being yourself around.

During the call, I鈥檒l invite you to share a little about what鈥檚 been going on for you. There鈥檚 no pressure to tell your whole story or go into anything before you're ready. We鈥檒l talk about what you鈥檇 like support with, what feels important for you right now, and what you hope might change or feel different over time.

I鈥檒l also explain my approach, what sessions can look like, and how we would work together, including pace, boundaries, and what support might feel like in practice. You鈥檙e welcome to ask anything you need, whether practical or emotional.

This call is simply a starting point, a space to check in with yourself and notice whether you feel seen, at ease, and supported. If it feels like a good match, we can arrange our first full session. And if not, that鈥檚 completely okay. The aim is for you to feel empowered and informed in choosing the right therapist for you. Your wellbeing, comfort, and autonomy always come first.

I offer online therapy via secure video sessions for adults based anywhere in the UK.

I currently have availability for weekly sessions during daytime and early evening hours (Monday鈥揊riday).

I work long-term or short-term depending on your needs, and I aim to offer a consistent session time each week so you have a predictable and grounded space for yourself.

Please get in touch for my current availability or to book an initial discovery session.

I鈥檓 a 麻豆原创-registered counsellor and psychotherapist, and I support people who are living with anxiety, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and the long-lasting impact of growing up in a family that looked fine on the outside but felt emotionally confusing underneath.

Many of my clients were the 鈥渞esponsible one鈥�, the 鈥渟trong one鈥�, or the 鈥渆asy one鈥� in their families. As adults they find themselves overthinking, struggling with boundaries, feeling responsible for other people鈥檚 feelings, or losing themselves in relationships.

My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I work relationally, which means the therapeutic relationship becomes a safe place to explore patterns, build self-trust, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others. I don鈥檛 rush or push; instead, I help you slow down, make sense of what鈥檚 happening inside you, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been ignored, silenced, or overwhelmed.

I believe therapy works best when you feel seen, safe, and understood. My role is to help you gently unlearn old roles and responses that no longer serve you, so you can move towards a life with more ease, self-worth, and emotional clarity.

I offer online therapy to adults with:

• anxiety, chronic worry, and overthinking
• people-pleasing and difficulty saying no
• guilt or fear around setting boundaries
• codependency and relationship patterns that feel familiar but draining
• self-criticism, shame, and low self-worth
• emotional detachment, numbness, or disconnection
• the impact of quietly dysfunctional or emotionally unavailable family systems
• parentification, being the 鈥渟trong one鈥�, or over-responsibility in childhood

My practice is grounded in relational, trauma-informed, and integrative therapeutic approaches. This means I draw from several models, including person-centred, psychodynamic, and parts-based work, to support you in understanding your emotional world, developing healthier boundaries, building internal safety, and reconnecting with your own needs.

Together, we explore both your present-day experiences and the deeper patterns that shaped them, at a pace that feels safe for you.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and to see whether working together feels like a good fit. There鈥檚 no pressure to share everything at once, many people come feeling anxious, unsure, or worried about saying the 鈥渨rong鈥� thing. That鈥檚 completely okay.

During this session, we鈥檒l talk about what鈥檚 bringing you to therapy, what you鈥檙e struggling with, and what you鈥檙e hoping for. I鈥檒l also explain how I work, answer any questions you may have, and outline what therapy with me might look like.

You鈥檙e welcome to take your time, ask for clarification, or pause whenever you need to. My aim is to offer a space where you can begin to feel safe, understood, and supported as you start this process.

If we both feel it鈥檚 a good match, we鈥檒l arrange a regular session time and begin working at a pace that feels steady and manageable for you.

I offer online therapy sessions Monday to Friday, between 9:00 and 17:00 (CET). Daytime sessions allow us to work when your mind and nervous system are more settled, rather than squeezing your emotional needs into the edges of the day.

Online therapy offers flexibility and privacy, allowing you to connect from wherever feels most comfortable, at home, while travelling, or living abroad. Many clients find that being in a familiar space helps them feel grounded and open during sessions.

Sessions take place via a secure video platform, with a confirmation and link sent in advance. I offer flexibility when possible, life happens, while maintaining a consistent, reliable rhythm for your work.

If you鈥檙e unsure whether daytime sessions fit your schedule, feel free to reach out. We can explore what鈥檚 possible together so therapy feels supportive and unhurried.

Online Therapist | Self-Doubt, People-Pleasing, Anxiety & Boundaries | Serving Altrincham & Cheshire

Hello, I鈥檓 Catriona, a UK-trained, 麻豆原创-registered therapist offering online therapy for adults in Altrincham, Cheshire, and across the UK.

I specialise in supporting people who feel stuck in self-doubt, anxiety, people-pleasing, codependence, toxic or unstable relationship patterns, poor boundaries, emotional responsibility, negative self-talk, and the pressure to cope alone.

Many clients come to therapy not because something is 鈥渨rong鈥� with them, but because they鈥檙e exhausted from repeating the same painful dynamics, feeling overwhelmed in relationships, doubting themselves constantly, or carrying everyone else鈥檚 emotions at the expense of their own wellbeing.

Often, clients appear capable and caring on the outside, while inside they experience:

• Persistent self-doubt or self-criticism
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or constant internal pressure
• Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt
• Feeling responsible for others鈥� emotions
• Being drawn to or stuck in toxic or unbalanced relationships
• Fear of rejection or fear of upsetting others
• Confusion about needs, limits, or identity
• Overthinking and decision paralysis

These patterns rarely appear out of nowhere. They often begin in environments where emotional safety was inconsistent, where you learned to stay small, stay strong, avoid conflict, or keep the peace. Over time, these survival strategies can follow you into adult relationships, leading to unhealthy dynamics, anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional over-responsibility, and losing yourself in relationships.

Therapy offers a space to understand these patterns with compassion, and begin building a more grounded, confident, and self-trusting relationship with yourself.

As an online therapist serving Altrincham, Cheshire, and the wider UK, I support adults who struggle with self-doubt, anxiety, people-pleasing, codependent dynamics, toxic relationship patterns, emotional overwhelm, poor boundaries, negative self-talk and chronic guilt.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that real change happens through safety, understanding, and genuine connection, not fixing, judging, or forcing. I don鈥檛 see you as a problem to solve, but as someone whose responses once made sense in the context you grew up in.

Together, we work toward a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected, a life where you no longer have to abandon yourself to maintain relationships or keep the peace.

My work is integrative and person-centred, drawing from a range of approaches to support your unique pace and needs.

Therapy with me isn鈥檛 about performing or having everything together. It鈥檚 a collaborative process where we explore your inner world with honesty and curiosity. I offer both a steady presence and a gentle challenge, helping you step outside old beliefs, assumptions, and survival strategies to see what鈥檚 supporting you, and what鈥檚 keeping you stuck.

Some sessions may feel gentle; others may feel emotionally challenging. Both are part of the work. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system and your capacity, ensuring you feel grounded and supported as deeper layers unfold.

Through this process of compassionate exploration, many people begin to relate to themselves differently, with more clarity, confidence, compassion, and self-trust. Over time, they find their relationships become healthier, their decision-making clearer, and their sense of self stronger and more stable.

Before beginning therapy, we鈥檒l have a complimentary 20鈥�30 minute discovery call. This isn鈥檛 a therapy session, but a gentle space to explore what brings you here, what you鈥檙e hoping for, and how I work. It鈥檚 an opportunity for you to get a sense of me and ask any questions, and for us both to consider whether the fit feels right. A good therapeutic relationship is essential, you deserve to work with someone you feel safe with, understood by, and comfortable being yourself around.
