Catherine Robinson, NCPS

Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor who blends practical cognitive work with a warm, straightforward style. She uses Person-Centred Counselling alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about the next step. Catherine presents herself as down-to-earth and aims to make early conversations easy to manage. She holds the NCPS credential and brings 18 years of experience to her practice.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety and depression, as well as relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, ADHD and grief. Midlife crisis and coping with life changes are specifically noted areas she helps people navigate.

Catherine describes her sessions as non-judgemental and empathic. She listens first, then helps people spot practical steps they can try between meetings. Her style is patient and flexible, and she aims to adapt to busy schedules.

She has experience with a wide range of additional concerns, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image and communication problems. That breadth helps when issues overlap or are complicated by other life pressures. Catherine encourages people to name what is troubling them so the work can start from clear goals.

Sessions can be scheduled at times that suit working lives, including evenings and weekends when required. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, people are asked to use the service's Start Therapy flow and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Catherine's approaches translate to online work

Catherine uses Person-Centred Counselling alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Person-Centred Counselling focuses on listening and creating a supportive space so people can talk through what matters. It helps when someone needs a clear, non-judgemental listener to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps people test small changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. It is useful for stress, sleep problems, and managing overwhelming thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Catherine works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She often begins by listening to what is most urgent, then suggests practical techniques to try and reviews how those feel together in later sessions.

The original biography did not list particular session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, for example by avoiding travel or by allowing an evening check-in after work. Online work can also let people use quieter surroundings, reduce commuting time, and maintain continuity when life or location changes. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools from CBT and person-centred approaches so that exercises and reflections fit a remote setting.
