About Catherine

Catherine Norris is a counsellor with 16 years of experience. She offers a calm space where people can talk about anxiety, grief, stress, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. Catherine writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.

Her approach aims to help people take small, practical steps toward clearer thinking and steadier coping. She has worked in the NHS, at well known charities, and in independent practice in Berkshire, United Kingdom.

Background and approach

That range of settings means she has met people with many different life stories and pressures. Catherine draws on what has helped others while tailoring the work to an individual’s situation. Therapy with Catherine focuses on identifying what a person values and using that as a guide.

Sessions look at how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. She helps people develop simple coping skills and clearer decision making so they can act in line with what matters to them. Her style is collaborative and down to earth.

Catherine listens, asks practical questions, and adjusts methods to suit each person. She uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method, so the work is shaped around the client rather than a fixed formula. Catherine supports people facing life changes, addiction, parenting strain, bereavement, chronic illness, and issues linked to attachment and family of origin.

She also works with those exploring identity, communication problems, career stress and low self‑esteem. Her practice welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and international locations.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that match those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for people struggling with trust, communication and intimacy. Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding; it gives space for people to feel heard and to find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals and try different ways of working to see what feels helpful. That collaborative process means the method can change as needs and circumstances become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging. Video is useful for in‑depth sessions and maintaining a face‑to‑face feel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and suit quick check‑ins or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter reflections, ongoing feedback between sessions or when written thinking helps process feelings. These options make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules or mobility and travel limits.
