Catherine Robinson , NCPS

Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who blends practical talking therapies with compassionate listening. She holds NCPS and has 18 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns. Catherine speaks English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. She offers evening and weekend appointments to fit busy lives.

Catherine uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. She combines this with cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. This mix lets people talk openly while learning straightforward tools to manage anxiety, low mood and stress.

She has worked with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions and grief. She also supports people facing body image concerns, chronic illness, caregiver stress and difficulties with intimacy. Catherine pays attention to how attachment and past relationships influence current patterns and everyday functioning.

Sessions are practical and down to earth. Catherine aims to create an empathic, non-judgemental space where people can say what they need to say and try new ways of coping. She is patient and flexible when arranging appointments and focuses on what will help each person take the next step.

If someone is ready to start, she asks a few simple questions to understand their situation and goals. From there she works together with the person to identify helpful strategies and small changes that can make life easier.

How Catherine’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and take small steps towards those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage low mood. Attachment‑Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then decide together what to try first. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth, and messaging is useful for short check‑ins or for people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for evenings and weekend appointments and make it simpler to keep therapy going around work and family commitments.
