About Catherine
Catherine Fear is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She supports people exploring self-esteem, relationships and life changes. Catherine also works with addiction concerns and people coping with chronic illness and pain.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings at their own pace. The first conversations focus on what matters most to the person and on practical ways to manage day-to-day stressors.
Background and approach
Across sessions Catherine helps clients identify unhelpful patterns and build small, doable strategies to feel steadier. She pays attention to emotional experience and to how difficulties show up in relationships and everyday life. Conversations often include ways to cope with sleep, eating and concentration problems that accompany anxiety or depression.
Her background includes four years of practice working with adults on a range of concerns, from grief and trauma to career pressures and compassion fatigue. She is a BACP member, which means she works within that professional framework. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.
Catherine works on weekdays during usual business hours and responds to messages Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Client-centred support online
Client-centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and choices. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what is heard and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits worries like anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and decisions about life changes.Catherine aims to work together with each person to find the right approach. She will discuss goals, try techniques that fit the individual's needs, and adjust the plan as things change. Finding the best fit is part of the therapeutic process and happens through conversation and shared decision making.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and health commitments.
