Catherine Robinson

Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who blends talk-based care with practical techniques. She draws on 18 years of experience and the NCPS credential to offer steady, down-to-earth support. She commonly helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. Her sessions focus on listening first and then finding practical steps together. She uses person-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice patterns and try new responses. That combination aims to make emotional change feel manageable and useful in everyday life. Catherine has long experience with trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD and issues that affect intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, caregiver strain and the stresses of ageing. End-of-life and hospice concerns are part of the areas she can address. People say she offers an honest and non-judgemental space. She pays attention to what a person needs in the moment and adapts the pace accordingly. Sessions are arranged to fit around busy schedules, including evenings and weekends when needed. To begin, she encourages straightforward conversation about what is worrying you now. That helps shape a plan together that suits your goals and daily life. Catherine aims to be patient and flexible while you take steps towards change.

How these approaches work for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and safety. It can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques are adjusted as the work progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how Catherine is offering sessions at the time. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing evening or weekend appointments, or enabling shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people join from locations outside their local area, which can help those supporting someone with serious illness or arranging hospice-related conversations.
