Catherine Robinson, NCPS

Catherine Robinson uses a person-centred approach to counselling. She offers warm, direct support that helps people talk through current struggles and work toward clearer choices. Catherine is registered with NCPS and brings 18 years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.

She blends client-centred work with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and other approaches. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and learning simple tools to manage distress. People often come for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship or trauma-related concerns.

Catherine has worked across a wide range of issues including ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with intimacy questions, low self-esteem, anger, bipolar mood challenges and life transitions. Additional focus areas include body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and communication problems.

Her style is straightforward and non-judgemental. She aims to be flexible about scheduling and offers evening and weekend times to fit busy lives. Sessions are conversational, with practical steps agreed together and checked in over time.

Catherine invites people to describe the difficulties they are facing and to set small, achievable goals. She works collaboratively to identify strategies that fit daily routines and personal values. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Catherine's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, concrete steps aligned with those values. It helps with anxiety, stress and life transitions by teaching practical ways to stay committed to what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment concerns or repeated relationship difficulties, helping to build healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions start with what matters most to the individual and adapt over time if needs or aims change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more convenient. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to fit therapy into everyday life and keep the focus on steady, achievable progress.
