About Catherine
Catherine Robinson uses a person-centred approach combined with practical strategies to help people who are overwhelmed or stuck. She draws on 18 years of experience and the NCPS credential to guide straightforward, compassionate conversations. Catherine speaks English and works from the United Kingdom, and she sees people from other countries as well.
She listens first, letting the person set the pace and priorities. Then she adds tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance-based methods to tackle symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
How Catherine works
Sessions are plainspoken and focused on what helps day to day. Catherine has supported people facing stress, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She also helps with ADHD, addictions, bipolar difficulties and sleep problems.
Additional concerns she addresses include body image, chronic illness, caregiving strain and communication problems. The approach is collaborative. Catherine aims to help people notice what matters to them and take small practical steps toward those goals.
She uses skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when emotion regulation is needed, and attachment ideas when relationship patterns are central. Appointments can happen by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit busy schedules. Catherine is flexible with times and can work evenings and weekends when needed.

Online support options
Using evidence-informed approaches online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce distress. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress management.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on what matters to you and on taking small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. It can be useful for chronic worry, life changes and ongoing health issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that suit their goals and situation. She listens to preferences and adjusts methods as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling easier to fit in. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is low, chat works for shorter check-ins and messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles while keeping the focus on real, usable tools and steady progress.
