Catriona Armstrong

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 most 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 to ensure therapy feels supportive and unhurried.

Online Therapist | Self-Worth, People-Pleasing & Boundaries | Serving Tenterden & Kent.

Hello, I鈥檓 Catriona, a 麻豆原创-registered therapist offering online therapy for adults in Tenterden, and surrounding areas. I specialise in supporting people who feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, low self-worth, people-pleasing, codependency, toxic relationship dynamics, poor boundaries, negative self-talk, self-blame, overthinking, and the pressure to cope alone.

Many people seek therapy not because something is 鈥渨rong鈥� with them, but because they鈥檙e exhausted by repeating the same cycles,  feeling responsible for others鈥� emotions, abandoning their own needs, struggling to make decisions, or constantly questioning themselves. These issues are incredibly common, and therapy can provide the space to understand where they come from and how to shift them.

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

• Persistent self-criticism or self-doubt
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or a constant sense of internal pressure
• Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt
• Feeling responsible for others鈥� feelings
• Perfectionism or fear of letting people down
• Confusion about needs, identity, or limits
• A habit of putting themselves last or self-abandoning in relationships

These struggles don鈥檛 happen by accident. They often develop in environments where you learned to cope rather than thrive, by staying strong, invisible, compliant, or hyper-independent. Over time, these survival patterns can become so familiar that it鈥檚 difficult to imagine another way of being.

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 Tenterden, Kent, and the wider UK, I specialise in supporting adults who struggle with low self-worth, chronic self-doubt, people-pleasing, codependent patterns, boundaries, and the emotional overwhelm that often comes from putting others first.

My approach is trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that change happens through safety, connection, and understanding, not fixing or forcing. I don鈥檛 see you as a problem to solve, but as someone whose responses made sense in the environment you grew up in. Our work is about moving toward a life that feels calmer and more connected, a life that makes space for who you really are, beyond the patterns you learned to survive.

I offer integrative, person-centred online therapy for adults in Tenterden and surrounding areas, focusing on

• Low self-worth / low self-esteem
• Chronic self-doubt
• People-pleasing and difficulty saying no
• Codependent patterns
• Toxic or unfulfilling relationship dynamics
• Negative self-talk and inner criticism
• Poor boundaries
• Overthinking and decision paralysis
• Feeling 鈥渘ot enough,鈥� 鈥渢oo much,鈥� or constantly on edge
• Difficulty trusting yourself, your needs, or your emotions

Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we explore your inner world with honesty and curiosity. I aim to be a steady presence and a gentle challenger, helping you step outside old beliefs, patterns, and assumptions so you can understand what truly supports you and what keeps 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 supported and grounded as deeper layers unfold.

Over time, this work can help you relate to yourself differently, with more clarity, compassion, self-trust, and confidence. Many people begin to feel more at home in themselves, more connected in relationships, and freer to live in ways that feel authentic rather than survival-driven.

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.

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

Hello, I鈥檓 Catriona, a 麻豆原创-registered therapist offering online therapy for adults in Altrincham, Cheshire, and across the UK. I support people who feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, low self-worth, people-pleasing, codependence, toxic or unbalanced relationship dynamics, poor boundaries, negative self-talk, self-blame, overthinking, and the pressure to cope alone.

Many people come to therapy not because something is 鈥渨rong鈥� with them, but because they're exhausted from repeating the same patterns, feeling responsible for others鈥� emotions, abandoning their own needs, struggling to make decisions, or constantly questioning themselves. These experiences are incredibly common and deeply human.

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

• Persistent self-criticism or self-doubt
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or internal pressure
• Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt
• Feeling responsible for others鈥� emotions
• Perfectionism or fear of letting people down
• Confusion about needs, limits, or identity
• A habit of putting themselves last or self-abandoning to keep the peace

These patterns don鈥檛 develop out of nowhere. They often begin in environments where you learned to cope rather than thrive, by staying strong, invisible, compliant, or hyper-independent. Over time, survival strategies can become so familiar that it鈥檚 hard to imagine another way of being.

As an online therapist serving Altrincham, Cheshire, and the wider UK, I specialise in supporting adults who struggle with low self-worth, chronic self-doubt, people-pleasing, codependent patterns, boundaries, negative self-talk, and the emotional overwhelm that often arises from long-term self-blame and self-abandonment.

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that real change happens through safety, understanding, and genuine connection, not fixing 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 lived in. Together, we work toward a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected, a life that makes space for who you truly are, rather than who you learned to be in order to survive.

My work is integrative and person-centred, drawing from a range of approaches to meet each client鈥檚 unique needs and pace.

English-Speaking Online Therapist (UK-Trained) | Self-Worth, People-Pleasing & Boundaries | Based in Spain.

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

I support people who feel stuck in patterns of self-doubt, people-pleasing, codependence, toxic relationship dynamics, poor boundaries, negative self-talk, emotional responsibility, overthinking, and the pressure to cope alone. Many of my clients come to therapy not because something is 鈥渨rong鈥� with them, but because they鈥檙e tired of repeating the same patterns of behaviour and carrying everything themselves.

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

• Persistent self-criticism or self-doubt
• Anxiety or a constant sense of pressure
• Difficulty setting boundaries without guilt
• Feeling responsible for others鈥� emotions
• Perfectionism or fear of letting people down
• Confusion about needs, limits, or identity

These patterns don鈥檛 appear out of nowhere. They often begin in the environments we grow up in, places where we learned how to cope, but not always how to thrive. You may have adapted by staying strong, independent, or invisible; by taking care of others, keeping the peace, or trying to stay in control. Over time, these survival strategies can become so familiar that it鈥檚 hard to imagine another way of being.

My clients are not weak; they鈥檝e survived through strength, sensitivity, and vigilance. But in adulthood, those same strategies can become exhausting. Therapy offers a space to move out of survival mode and into a more grounded, trusting relationship with yourself.

As a UK-trained, English-speaking online therapist based in Spain, I work with adults in the UK, Spain, and across Europe who struggle with self-worth, chronic self-doubt, people-pleasing, boundaries, codependent patterns, and emotional overwhelm.

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 lived in. Our work is about moving toward a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more connected, a life that makes space for who you truly are, rather than who you learned to be to survive.

My work is integrative and person-centred, drawing from a range of approaches to meet each client鈥檚 unique needs and pace.

Therapy with me isn鈥檛 about performing or having it all together. It鈥檚 a collaborative process where we explore your inner world with honesty and curiosity. I aim to be both a steady presence and a gentle challenger, helping you step outside your usual perspective to look more closely at the beliefs and assumptions that shape your experience. Together, we鈥檒l explore whether these patterns are supporting you or keeping you in discomfort.

Therapy isn鈥檛 always easy; sessions can feel challenging or emotionally draining at times. We move at a pace that respects your capacity, ensuring you have the support and safety needed to stay grounded as you explore deeper layers of yourself.

Through this process of compassionate exploration, you can begin to see yourself and your behaviours from a new angle,  creating space to relate to yourself differently and experience yourself, others, and life in new, more authentic ways. Over time, this work can help you feel more at home in yourself, more confident, more connected, and freer to live with greater ease and authenticity.
