About Catherine
Catherine Vincent is a PACFA counsellor with 12 years working in mental health. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and low mood. She also supports people dealing with trauma and relationship difficulties.
Catherine believes people bring strengths and insights to therapy and aims to work alongside them. Her approach is practical and down to earth. Sessions use clear, simple language and focus on small, manageable steps.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and build new habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Catherine pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. That helps when past hurts affect current relationships or self-worth.
She also brings experience with a wide range of life issues, from body image and caregiving stress to chronic illness and neurodiversity concerns. People can expect a collaborative process. Catherine invites curiosity about what works and what does not, and adapts techniques to each person's goals.
She emphasises pacing that feels safe and realistic rather than rushed or overwhelming. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Catherine works across a broad range of concerns and aims to help people create sustainable change one step at a time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people test unhelpful thinking and practise new ways of responding to worry and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance and living with ongoing difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT tools, ACT strategies or other techniques will be most helpful for a particular difficulty.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of contact styles. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins, skill practice or when a quicker contact fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, study and family life while working with an appropriately qualified therapist.
