About Cathy
Cathy Hadley is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. Cathy specialises in anxiety and stress among other concerns and aims to make starting therapy as straightforward as possible.
Cathy keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens, asks clear questions and helps people work out small, achievable steps. She focuses on what is happening now and what can change in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative. Cathy adapts sessions to each person's needs and pace. That might mean looking at patterns in relationships, exploring unhelpful thoughts, or learning tools to manage strong emotions.
Cathy has worked with people facing many different challenges. These include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief and issues around identity. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating concerns, chronic illness or caregiving pressures.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Cathy offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Fees vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. Cathy aims to make the process clear and manageable for anyone taking that first step.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice connection and trust issues, and how those patterns turn up in relationships and everyday responses. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and supports people to find their own answers and build self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cathy will talk through different ways of working and decide together what fits the client's needs and goals. That collaborative process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy with Cathy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lives. Video calls are useful when verbal and non-verbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text works well for people who prefer written reflection or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
