About me
My name is Cathryn and thank you for taking the time to read about me.
I understand that reaching out and talking to someone about the things we're finding difficult in life can be incredibly daunting. Taking that first step takes courage, and I want to reassure you that you are not alone in it.
I offer a calm, confidential and supportive space where you can explore what's going on for you at your own pace. Whether you're feeling stuck, or simply want to understand yourself better, we can work together to move toward your own personal goals.
I work with adults and young adults aged 16 and over. My core training is in Psychodynamic Therapy, which means I can help you explore how past experiences might be influencing your present. I also integrate elements of other therapeutic approaches, allowing me to offer a more personalised and flexible way of working - tailored to suit your unique needs.
I am a registered member of the BACP and have been working as a counsellor for over 20 years.

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.
