About me

Hi, I’m Cat.  Thank you for visiting my profile.  I have many years of experience working with those suffering from anxiety, stress & burnout, low self-esteem, as well as those who are encountering problems in their relationships or career.  

Many clients come to me because they have a desire to change yet have been unable to make these changes themselves.  Many people find themselves becoming more anxious and overwhelmed or continually repeat familiar patterns of behaviour or attract the same problems in their lives.   If this has been your cycle, you are not alone, and it is ok to ask for support.  

I can help you to process how you are feeling, I can help you to find ways to get a new perspective on things, and I can pass on insights and concepts that may help to make sense of your problems.   I offer a space away from the outside world where respect, acceptance, kindness, clarity, collaboration, and patience are placed in the centre of our therapeutic relationship.

I provide online one-to-one therapy or walk and talk therapy in Brighton and Hove and the surrounding area. I can offer both short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy.

If you would like a free 20-minute consultation via Zoom to meet with me and ask me any questions before deciding whether I am the right counsellor for you, please do get in contact me.  

Warm wishes, Cat

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and a member of the National Counselling Society. 

My main modality is Transactional Analysis (TA), although I use an integrative approach with clients, combining TA with my knowledge of psychodynamic, relational and CBT approaches.

Having worked in learning, development and employee wellbeing for over fifteen years means I have the experience and skills to develop solid and compassionate relationships with people of various ages, genders and backgrounds supporting those people with a wide range of issues. 

I have worked extensively with people who have experienced anxiety, or suffer from low confidence or self esteem, as well as supporting people who are struggling in their relationships or career. I have a particular interest, and experience, in working with parents, carers and people at work who are experiencing overwhelm and burnout.

Additional training in:

  • Social Anxiety
  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
  • Imposter Syndrome
  • Burnout
  • Divorce and Relationship breakdown
  • Shame
