About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience in Australia. She works with relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, parenting, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and related life stresses. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and challenges such as ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Catherine focuses on practical conversation and clear steps rather than long theory. She uses approaches that help people notice thoughts, emotions and patterns, and then try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes that can reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning.
She draws on attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships shape responses. She uses client-centred methods to keep the sessions focused on a person’s priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when the client wants concrete strategies for thinking and behaviour.
Catherine also works with emotion-focused and relationship methods, including Gottman-informed techniques, when the issues involve intimate or family communication. She pays attention to issues that often come up with blended families, caregiving stress, ageing concerns and life transitions.
Practical tasks and short-term goals are common in her work. Clients can expect direct discussion of patterns, suggested exercises between sessions, and review of what is or isn’t helping. The aim is clearer decision-making and better coping in everyday life.
How Catherine uses CBT, attachment and client-centred methods online
Clients can expect Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a practical, skills-based approach focusing on thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the work directed by the person’s goals, placing the client’s priorities and perspective at the centre of the sessions.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the therapy process. Catherine will work collaboratively to decide which strategies suit the client’s goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on CBT techniques for immediate coping, then using attachment ideas for relationship patterns, or emphasising client-centred conversation when clarifying priorities.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-in conversations when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum between sessions while they try new ways of thinking and relating.
