About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship and family concerns, and also supports those struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, addictions and parenting stresses.
She often helps people who are dealing with intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse. Catherine also supports clients managing mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and those coping with life changes including separation, caregiving stress and illness in the family.
Catherine uses approaches that focus on emotions and attachment to understand patterns in relationships. She blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centred listening and practical cognitive tools when useful. The result is a conversational style that aims to identify feelings and then try ways to change unhelpful patterns.
In sessions she talks through what matters most to the person in front of her and works on clear goals. That could mean improving communication, managing anxiety, or finding ways to rebuild trust after loss or betrayal. She also offers practical strategies for better sleep, eating habits and coping during major life transitions.
Catherine is a Level 4 registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and is registered as a Clinical Family Therapist with the Australian Association of Family Therapists (AAFT). She asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire to book a first session and uses a subscription arrangement that can be cancelled at any time.
How Catherine integrates EFT and attachment work online
Catherine commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions that drive relationship patterns. EFT focuses on noticing feelings, naming them, and using that clarity to change how people respond to each other.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at early patterns of relating and how they show up in adult relationships. This approach helps when worries about connection, commitment or abandonment keep repeating. Client-Centred Therapy is part of her style too, which means conversations are guided by what the client finds most important and are paced to the person’s needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each client about goals and preferences and choose or combine methods that fit those aims. That choice is made together, in conversation, not decided in advance.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school and caregiving because they reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people connect from a quieter place, use less data when on a phone call, or keep to a schedule that suits daily life.
