About me

Hello and welcome. I'm Cath Henshall and I'm an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapist and a Christian trained in the person-centred approach with cognitive behavioural skills - working with adults and couples.

I am an accepting, knowledgeable and professional counsellor experienced in all these areas including, depression, anxiety, abuse, bereavement/loss/grief, historical sexual abuse, fear, relationship issues, self-esteem, stress and trauma.

What happens when you get in touch?

The first time we meet is generally known as an Initial Meeting (for obvious reasons) and it's an opportunity for me to explain what counselling is; I rather like "an intentionally helpful conversation" but, of course, I will go into far more detail so you will have as much information as possible to help you make an informed decision. I will explain what I can safely offer in terms of confidentiality, and it's a time for you to decide whether you can work with me, whether counselling is the right decision and course of action for you to take at this time.

I currently charge £60 per session, £80 per session for couple counselling. Counselling can be in person at The Brightstone Clinic in Sandbach, by Zoom or by telephone.

I hope you find a way through your difficulties and if you choose to contact me I look forward to meeting and supporting you.

Best wishes,
Cath
