About me
Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a collaborative therapy model developed for the NHS to help people struggling with all mental health difficulties and relational problems. Due to its focus on therapeutic relationships and mapping tools it is a very successful therapy offered over 16 or 24 sessions which really transforms your understanding of yourself, your symptoms and improves wellbeing and relationships. It’s a therapy that teaches you to be your own therapist to give lasting improvements. CAT Hub is for patients from 17 years up and offers online CAT. We are based in Cambridge.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
CAT is a relational therapy which is transdiagnostic and allows space and treatment of a range of difficulties at an individual level, but also includes immediate and wider relationships and systemic, cultural, spiritual and religious factors.
CAT is an adaptable model which can include tools and theories from other therapies within the sessions.
