This approach can help with issues such as bereavement, low self-esteem, career stress and compassion fatigue.
Catherine has five years of experience working with people from a range of backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBT and those affected by workplace bullying. She also offers support around sexuality, women’s issues and parenting concerns.
People who come to Catherine often want a calm, non-judgemental space to think things through. She helps clients notice options and try practical coping strategies. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.
