Catherine Norris offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She makes space for worries about anxiety, stress, grief and low mood. Catherine writes plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters most to them.

She has 16 years' experience and is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Catherine has worked in the NHS and at two well known charities, as well as in independent practice in Berkshire, United Kingdom.

Background and approach

That background means she is used to different kinds of problems and different ways of working. Catherine takes a flexible, down-to-earth approach. She draws on several therapies to suit each person's needs rather than using one fixed method.

In sessions she helps people make sense of current difficulties and learn coping skills that fit daily life. She often looks at how past experiences shape current reactions, particularly around attachment and relationships. The goal is practical change linked to what a person values, not just short-term relief.

People can expect a steady, respectful way of working that focuses on clarity and small, achievable steps. Catherine aims to help clients find ways forward that feel authentic to them and that support meaningful change over time.

How Catherine’s approaches work for online therapy

Catherine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports actions that match what matters most to someone. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change those patterns in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Catherine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt sessions so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing reflections between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and allow people to continue work even when travel or schedules would otherwise make attending difficult.
