About Catherine

Catherine Cassells is a counsellor who works from a Systemic perspective alongside other well-established approaches. She aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns. Her way of working is down-to-earth and collaborative, and she explains options so people can choose what feels right for them.

Catherine uses the person-centred spirit at the heart of her practice. That means she listens first and follows the person in front of her rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. Many clients bring practical life challenges such as separation, blended family issues, caregiving strain, money worries or health-related limitations. Catherine helps people break these problems into manageable steps and make realistic changes over time.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters most to the client in that moment. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and has three years of professional experience. That background supports work with issues like attachment concerns, abandonment, isolation, men’s issues and midlife decisions.

Catherine offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Appointments can be arranged by following the site's booking process and completing a short matching questionnaire. The aim is to create steady progress at a pace the client chooses.

Online support

How Systemic and ACT-informed work translates online

Systemic therapy looks at how relationships and patterns shape a person’s difficulties. Online sessions let the counsellor and client map those connections and try out new ways of relating, even when participants are in different places. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most to them. Online ACT work uses practical exercises to build actions that match personal values and reduce avoidance. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre, with the counsellor offering empathetic listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss different methods and help clients decide what fits their needs and preferences. That choice is made together and can change over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so sessions can fit around work, childcare or travel. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker or use less bandwidth, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make regular, practical therapy more accessible and flexible for everyday life.
