About Catherine
Catherine Kearns is a counsellor who uses practical, client-led approaches to help people move forward. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and addictions, and supports people facing relationship difficulties and life changes. Catherine lists experience with ADHD, trauma, LGBT concerns and challenges around self-esteem and intimacy.
She draws on therapies that focus on values, thinking patterns and attachment. Sessions begin with a conversation to understand the immediate problem and set clear, achievable goals. She may suggest worksheets or short exercises to build awareness between sessions and keep progress steady.
Catherine trained and practised in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She says she treats each person as an individual and adapts her approach to fit their background and culture. She also notes that she has built a private practice after several years working in professional settings.
In sessions she aims to create a non-judgemental space where feelings and thoughts can be talked through. Early meetings are used to get a clearer picture of what matters to the client and decide practical next steps. The emphasis is on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
She welcomes international clients and conducts work in English. When contacting her, prospective clients are asked to expect a response outside session hours if she is with someone else, as she will reply as soon as she becomes available.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what truly matters to them and take small steps towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships can shape current patterns and helps people change repeated ways of relating when they cause distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works collaboratively to find what fits a person's goals and preferences. Early sessions focus on understanding the problem and agreeing on practical steps to try together.
The practical advantage of remote work is that it can fit more easily into a daily routine and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins between longer sessions, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited or being on camera feels difficult. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the session options offered before booking. Registered and accredited professionals, including counsellors, can use online appointments to maintain continuity of care while helping people work on issues such as anxiety, addiction and relationship concerns.
