Catherine Moss

Therapy is your space to untangle hard feelings, difficult situations or work through past, painful experiences and whatever your reasons or goals for coming to therapy, I'll provide a gentle, supportive relationship for you to do just that. You will have a safe space to be yourself free from judgement. I'll be beside you as you make sense of things and understand yourself better. Or you might want some help to recognise unhelpful patterns that you want to change, resolve or accept those complicated feelings.

How counselling can help

All of us experience emotional difficulties at some time in our lives and having a safe, confidential space to talk about things can help. I believe within the right counselling relationship, therapy can be kind and compassionate, enlightening and affirming. Together we can talk about some of the difficulties and struggles you are facing and explore ways through the challenges. It's a space to talk, to explore your past, present and future. A space to think out loud with someone who can help you make connections or notice patterns. Sometimes feelings can be difficult or painful and counselling provides a safe, compassionate place to explore. 

What about Online therapy?

Studies have shown having therapy online is just as effective as face to face therapy.  I am able to build strong, supportive relationships with the clients I see online. Its a great way for therapy to work with your life. There's greater convenience and flexibility on appointments for shift workers, people that work away during the week, parents, and anyone managing a busy life. And it means you can do therapy anywhere, as long as its safe and quiet. You could have your session in the garden, your bedroom, have your pet with you, sipping a cup of tea in your favourite chair. This can help make the experience more comfortable, especially if this is your first time in therapy. 

Young People

Counselling gives a young person the opportunity to talk, express how they're feeling or what they're struggling with.  Young people report often they don't want fixing, they want to be heard. And when they feel heard, awareness and change can happen. Sometimes young people prefer to explore thoughts and feelings creatively, so I offer both talking therapy and the ability to use creative materials to express themselves and what they're dealing with.

What to expect in the first session

After you've made that first step and made contact we can arrange a time to have a 20 minute free consultation where we can get talk about how we'd work together and what you want from counselling. You have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and begin to talk about your experience.
