About Catherine
Catherine Cassells is a counsellor who focuses on helping people make practical changes in their lives. She uses a collaborative style that aims to support, nurture and empower people to be their best selves. Catherine works in a calm, respectful way and keeps sessions free from judgment so people can speak openly about what matters to them.
She combines a person-centred foundation with techniques from other approaches to tailor sessions to each person. That means conversations are guided by the client’s goals, while practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing may be introduced when helpful. Sessions can cover everyday stress, anxiety and relationship concerns in straightforward terms.
Catherine has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and existential ideas when people face questions about life purpose or midlife changes. Her practice also addresses family and parenting pressures, blended family issues and caregiver stress.
Other topics she works with include chronic pain and illness, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness and mood difficulties. Catherine accepts international clients and conducts work in English. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s schedule.
Fees vary depending on location and on the subscription that applies, which can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options to make sure they suit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation. It is often used when someone feels stuck and wants practical steps to move forward.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, life changes and questions about purpose.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and support while the person leads the pace and topics of work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then try techniques that match those needs. That way the plan evolves from a conversation rather than being imposed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, clients should confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques to online sessions so people can focus on practical change, coping with stress, and improving relationships without rearranging their whole day. -
