About Catherine
Catherine Cassells is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family and parenting concerns, and people facing life changes. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Catherine uses a practical, person-focused approach. She centres conversations on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour and then tests straightforward strategies to reduce unhelpful reactions and increase useful choices.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thoughts and break repetitive cycles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when values and meaningful action are central to the issue. The client-centred core means the person's priorities guide the work rather than a fixed programme.
Catherine also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and communication problems. She supports people through divorce or separation, feelings of guilt and shame, loneliness, midlife questions, money worries and mood difficulties.
Sessions typically focus on clear, manageable steps between meetings. Homework tasks and short experiments are often used to test what helps. The aim is to develop practical habits and clearer choices that make daily life easier.
How Catherine uses CBT, ACT and person-centred work online
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice specific thoughts and habits that keep problems going, then tests brief experiments to change how they react. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used when values and committed action matter, helping people decide what matters and take small steps in that direction. The person-centred approach keeps the client's priorities at the centre and shapes which techniques are tried.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Catherine will discuss the methods that may suit a person's goals and preferences and adjust the plan as work progresses. The first sessions are used to agree on focus, try a method, and see what fits.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and for choosing quieter surroundings or phone calls if less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical advantages to shape sessions around everyday life.
