About Catherine

Catherine Bezzant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on helping people manage addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and anxiety. Catherine also offers support for eating concerns, parenting stress and compassion fatigue. She aims to meet people where they are and to adapt her way of working to each person’s needs.

She uses a conversational, respectful style in sessions. Catherine tailors the topics and pace to what feels useful for each person. She emphasises listening first, and then works with clients to set clear, practical steps they can try between meetings.

Catherine draws on relationship-focused ideas to look at how early attachments shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses client-centred methods that keep the conversation centred on the person’s experience and values. These approaches are blended with psychodynamic thinking to notice recurring patterns and with mindfulness techniques to help manage strong emotions in the moment.

People come to Catherine for a range of concerns including abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems. She supports those coping with life changes such as adoption and foster care, ageing, cancer and disaster-related stress. Catherine explains work in plain language and helps clients set realistic goals.

If someone prefers a gentle, thoughtful approach that combines listening with practical steps, Catherine offers a style that balances understanding with action. To begin, prospective clients follow the platform process to match and schedule a session.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online counselling

Catherine uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and mindfulness techniques in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at early relationship patterns and how they influence current reactions; this can help when people struggle with abandonment, trust or repeated relationship patterns. Client-centred work keeps the focus on a person’s own experience and values, giving space to be heard and to build goals that fit daily life. Mindfulness techniques teach simple skills for noticing and tolerating strong emotions in the moment, which often helps with anxiety, stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Catherine treats it as a collaborative exploration. She will talk with each person about what feels most helpful, try different ways of working where needed, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences. The aim is to find practical methods that people can use between sessions as well as during them.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when that is useful. It can also allow people to try therapeutic techniques in the settings where they live and work, and to build continuity of care even when circumstances change.
