Catherine Mantack offers calm, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, parenting pressures and low self-esteem. She introduces straightforward steps to help clients feel more able to cope day to day. Catherine writes in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make the first contact as simple as possible.

She uses an individualised approach that adapts to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what matters to the client now - for example reducing panic, managing overwhelming days, or rebuilding confidence after setbacks.

Background and approach

Work can include communicating more clearly, tackling feelings of guilt or shame, and addressing isolation or social anxiety. Catherine has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on evidence-based techniques to help people find practical strategies and build new habits.

Her style is respectful and compassionate, with attention to small, achievable changes. Parents who feel worn down by childcare and family friction can expect direct help with routines, boundaries and motivation. Those exploring ADHD-related challenges may work on organisation, self-kindness and managing overwhelm.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. She accepts clients internationally and conducts work in English. Getting started is straightforward: complete the short matching questionnaire and book a time that fits your schedule.

Practical approaches and online sessions

Catherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life experience to reduce anxiety and worry. This kind of work is useful for panic, generalised anxiety and social fear.

She also uses behavioural strategies to build routines and small habits. These steps aim to improve day-to-day functioning for people struggling with low motivation, parenting overwhelm or ADHD-related organisational challenges. The emphasis is on short, doable tasks that fit into busy schedules.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. Clients take an active role in setting priorities and testing what works.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful when face-to-face conversation matters, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins, written reflection or when shorter contact feels more manageable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family and daily life.
