About me
Hello, I’m Catherine a Psychotherapist who specialises in the treatment of Complex Trauma. I’m deeply committed to creating a safe and nurturing space where you can feel supported in navigating life’s challenges. I believe that everyone has the strength within them to heal and grow, and my role is to help you uncover that strength while guiding you through the process. As the founder of the private practice Healing and Happy I assist clients by providing validating, empowering and life transforming therapy.
Using evidence-based techniques like CBT, humanistic approaches, mindfulness-based and somatic-focused treatment, I create a therapy plan specifically designed to meet your goals. I am committed to providing innovative, interactive and empowering therapeutic support to help you create the life you deserve. I will work with you to explore your past, present and future and simultaneously build long lasting internal resources which may help you actively promote positive changes in your life.
I understand that deciding to start therapy can be a difficult and emotional experience, so I offer an initial consultation to allow you to share your concerns and see if working with me feels right for you. With a warm and collaborative style, I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment to help you build resilience, strengthen self-esteem, and establish healthier coping strategies.

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.
