About Catherine
Catherine Cassells is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works alongside clients to find practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope. Catherine uses a person-focused approach and adapts sessions to each individual's needs.
Catherine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred work to shape conversations. She helps people notice thoughts and feelings, try small changes, and commit to actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at what matters day to day. Her practice also covers relationship and family concerns, parenting pressures, and life changes like separation or career shifts. Other areas she supports include attachment and abandonment worries, guilt and shame, isolation, and issues around money or midlife.
She also works with people facing chronic illness or caring responsibilities. Catherine holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP. She has three years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom.
Conversations take place in clear, everyday language to make emotional topics easier to talk about. Catherine adapts the pace to each person. Some sessions focus on immediate coping steps.
Others look at longer term patterns and meaning. The goal is to leave people with practical ways to feel more in control and connected to what they want from life.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting hooked by them, and then take small steps towards the life they value. It is useful for chronic worry, anxiety and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor listens and follows the client's concerns, helping people feel understood and able to make choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk through options and try methods together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process that adapts as goals and needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls work well for visual connection and fuller conversations. Phone sessions are useful when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or messaging can suit regular brief check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
