Cathy Austin Counsellor and Psychotherapist Reg.MBACP (Accred)

About me

With over 30 years experience of working as a counsellor and psychotherapist with adolescents and adults, I have never lost sight of how difficult it can be to come for counselling. It can make sense for people to begin with an initial session to see if we can work together - I work both in the short-term and the long-term, and anything in between. I am very passionate about the value of counselling and look forward to meeting you.

I have worked both in a college setting and as a Clinical Director of a counselling centre in Norwich. Now I am concentrating on my private practice, supervising other counsellors and offering short and long term therapy. I see clients in my home in South Norfolk and in Norwich.

Counselling sessions provide a safe place which enable people to explore uncomfortable and self-limiting feelings. Being listened to, understood and accepted is a powerful way to turn negative experiences into positive insights. Through a process of actively working together, psychotherapy can look at the options available to help you make changes in your current life and also to make sense of past influences.

As a parent, grandparent and artist I never tire of working alongside people as they bring  their rich tapestry of life, their trials and tribulations, joys and sorrows and their unique attachment patterns.
