About Me
Hi, I'm Cathy and I'm a fully qualified and
experienced Counsellor and Life Coach.
​
​Like most people in the counselling profession,
I have always been drawn to helping others.
During a successful twenty-year sales and
management career working for some of the
world's best known brands, I have always been
inspired to help people be the very best they can be.
I know from my years of experience working with
people with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem
and lack of self-confidence, that if you are ready to
do the work, you will be amazed how capable you
are of exploring parts of yourself you never knew
existed.
After initially qualifying as a Life Coach over 10 years ago, I soon realised that for some people their past life experiences stop them achieving what they want, and they remain stuck, unfocussed and unable to move forward. And following my own experience of having counselling I understood the importance of a safe, non-judgemental environment where I could share my innermost thoughts; and the work needed to accept my past so that I could move forward; and I decided to become a qualified Counsellor to help others.
​
And here I am today, running my own private practice, where I offer an integrative approach; encompassing not only my counselling skills, but can also help you move forwards with some solution focused and coaching strategies.
​
I am an Registered Member of the British Assocation of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), meaning I adhere to a strict code of ethics and undertake monthly supervision. I also hold a current enhanced DBS disclosure.
