About Catherine
Catherine Pinder is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She also supports those coping with grief, depression, ADHD and LGBT-related concerns. Her manner is straightforward and compassionate, helping people feel heard and respected from the first session.
She works in a humanistic and integrative way as a BACP counsellor, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs. Sessions are aimed at listening, building emotional strength, and finding practical ways to move forward.
Background and approach
Catherine draws on experience supporting people through loss, identity questions, and long-term health concerns. Her background includes mentoring, youth work and investigative roles that involved safeguarding and supporting vulnerable people. That experience has shaped a calm, steady approach when talking about difficult subjects.
Catherine uses that practical insight to help people build resilience and clearer boundaries in daily life. She offers different ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy around work, caring commitments and busy schedules.
Catherine is based in the United Kingdom and works with people in English, including international clients. People who come to her can expect short-term practical tools and longer-term emotional work where needed. The focus is on what the person wants to change and on small, achievable steps.
Getting started involves a short questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit each individual.
Approaches you can expect and how online sessions work
Her humanistic approach focuses on listening and understanding your experience. It helps people who need a safe, non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings such as anxiety, grief or identity questions. Integrative work means she draws on a range of evidence-based techniques to suit the person rather than using one fixed method. This can include practical coping strategies for stress and ways to manage ADHD-related challenges.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Catherine will discuss your goals and try different ways of working to find what fits best. She adapts methods over time, so the plan can change as you progress and as your needs become clearer.
Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals and includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text options suit shorter check-ins, people who like to write things down, or those needing flexible timing around work and caring duties. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy going when life gets busy.
