About me
Are you struggling with depression, anxiety or stress? Do you feel confused or overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings?
Hello, I'm Catherine. I am a fully qualified, experienced BACP Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I consider myself to be compassionate, humble and non-judgemental. I work relationally, tailoring the therapy to your individual needs.
I understand that life can present various challenges and that seeking help can be a daunting step. I offer a supportive, safe and confidential environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. My hope is for you to feel safe, heard, understood and empowered to make decisions in your own life.
I have experience working with domestic abuse, self-esteem, loss, family and work issues, infertility, miscarriage, infant loss, chronic illness, sexuality and neurodiversity (ASD, ADD/ADHD). I have worked for two bereavement charities, Cruse Bereavement Support and Just(B) in Harrogate offering counselling for end of life, pre and post bereavement.
I offer short or long term counselling to individual adults. I can provide in person or online sessions, each will be 50 minutes long. I have a private practice in Ripon which is wheelchair accessible with free parking. I am within easy reach of Thirsk, Dishforth, Bedale, Masham, Boroughbridge, Northallerton and Knaresborough. I also work from a practice in Harrogate, which is also wheelchair accessible with free parking.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
