About Catherine
Catherine Noy uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people improve relationships and wellbeing. She is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience and offers straightforward support for common life stresses. Catherine keeps sessions respectful and down-to-earth so people can talk openly and make clear steps forward.
She works with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and addictive behaviours. Catherine also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and major life changes.
How Catherine works
Additional focuses include caregiver stress, blended family issues, communication problems and work-related compassion fatigue. Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy so practical change meets emotional understanding. That means she helps people notice patterns in relationships, name their needs, and practise new ways of responding.
Conversations are tailored to each person's goals rather than following a rigid plan. Catherine draws on 17 years of experience to offer calm guidance and practical tools. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps, try new behaviours between sessions, and review what works.
Her style is warm, direct and solution-focused. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that suits them.

How Catherine's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based work focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people see how early connections shape current reactions and close relationships. It can be useful for repairing trust and improving communication. Client-Centred Therapy gives people space to be heard without judgement and helps build self-understanding and confidence through empathetic listening. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, mood and unhelpful habits.Picking the right approach is part of the process. Catherine will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new issues arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions are low-bandwidth and handy when movement is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or written reflections between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
