About Catherine

Catherine Foster is a counsellor who brings five years of practice to conversations about stress, relationships and life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and offers a warm, non-judgemental approach for people who feel overwhelmed, unsure or stuck. Catherine holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her professional credential.

She works in a person-centred way that starts with listening. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs, whether that means talking, sitting in silence, or using creative approaches.

Background and approach

The emphasis is on helping people name what matters and notice the skills they already possess. Catherine has supported people through bereavement, workplace bullying, low self-esteem and difficult relationship moments. She also offers help around anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, coping with change, sexuality and women’s issues.

Her practice includes work with LGBT concerns and compassion fatigue. In practical terms she focuses on building a steady, respectful working relationship. Catherine helps people find new perspectives and simple coping strategies.

She aims for a clear, down-to-earth style that suits someone who wants straightforward support without jargon. Whether someone has had counselling before or this is their first time, Catherine aims to reduce the worry that sometimes comes with starting therapy. She asks people to take things at their own pace and helps them plan next steps that feel manageable.

How Catherine works online

Catherine practises client-centred therapy, which means she focuses on listening and following the client's pace. This approach helps people who feel overwhelmed or unsure by giving them space to talk, reflect and find their own answers. She also emphasises practical support such as identifying coping skills and resources. This makes it useful for worry, burnout and relationship or workplace strains where small changes and new perspectives can help daily life. Choosing the right way of working is part of therapy. Catherine will collaborate with each client to decide how to meet their needs and what methods suit them best. She works together with people to set goals and adapt the style as the work progresses. The original profile does not list specific online or remote formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to attend regular meetings. Others prefer a shorter phone check-in when they need a brief space to reflect. Discussing practical arrangements with the therapist will help find a pattern that fits everyday life.
