About Catherine
Catherine Robinson is a person-centred counsellor registered with NCPS and has 18 years' experience in practice. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD and addiction concerns. She also supports issues connected to grief, intimacy, sleep, anger and self-esteem.
Her approach combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client-centred methods. Catherine prioritises listening and practical conversation to help people name and work through hard emotions. Sessions aim to identify patterns and small, doable changes rather than quick fixes.
Catherine has worked with a wide range of concerns across mental health and life stress. This includes support for people from LGBT backgrounds, chronic illness and caregiver strain. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, codependency, commitment issues and attachment-related worries.
People can expect straightforward, two-way conversation about what is happening now and what would feel different. Catherine uses exercises from CBT and ACT alongside emotionally-focused discussion to help people notice their feelings and try new responses. She encourages realistic goals and simple strategies to manage day-to-day symptoms.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Catherine uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the feelings that drive relationship and personal patterns. It helps people notice and name hard emotions and the interactional habits that follow. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works on values and small actions that move a person towards what matters to them, even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection styles and how they shape current responses and relationship expectations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try together. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as the work develops.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into daily life easier, for example by avoiding travel, squeezing a session into a lunch break or allowing shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also means people in different countries can work with a registered NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom. Practicalities such as whether to use video or audio can be arranged to suit energy levels, bandwidth and how focused someone feels on the day.
