Who am I

I am a BACP Accredited therapist with a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling. I hold an additional diploma in psychology and I have further professional training in couples therapy, psychosexual studies, working with bereavement and bereavement by suicide. I am a member of the BACP and my practice is fully insured.

I am also a registered member of Resolution, a community of family justice professionals committed to working with families who are going through separation or divorce in a collaborative, constructive and non-confrontational way. I have worked with a number of mental health organisations in Yorkshire, and have also operated a private practice since 2020.

I feel passionately about the power of counselling, as a way to help clients through troubled times but also to support people who want to understand themselves better. Therapy can help you feel more in control of your life, your choices and your relationships.

  • Relationship problems or separations
  • Co-parenting
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Bereavement
  • Bereavement through suicide
  • Social relationships
  • Loneliness and social isolation

How I work

I work with clients face to face in Harrogate and remotely over the telephone or via Zoom.

Cost of sessions

Individual client sessions are 50 minutes long and couples’ sessions are 60 minutes, although longer or shorter sessions at pro rata rates can be arranged if required. The fee for an individual session is £70, and couples’ sessions are £85. Payments can be made by cash, bank transfer or bank card.

In therapeutic work, the personal relationship between client and therapist is important, so you need to feel that you have chosen the right person to work with. For that reason I offer all prospective new clients a free initial conversation over the phone or via Zoom.

Testimonials

“With Catherine I felt listened to, and understood. When I have needed it she offered suggestions but mostly I have just felt free to explore how I really feel about the things happening in my life. It felt good not doing it alone.”

“The sessions with Catherine helped me see our issues in a different light. I could be honest with myself and with my husband. We had stopped talking somehow. We are stronger now. Therapy made a big difference for us.”
