About Catherine
Catherine Fear is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem, and has a special interest in chronic illness and chronic pain. Catherine uses a client-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood.
She works in straightforward, conversational sessions. Catherine listens to what matters to the person and helps them identify practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions often cover coping with life changes, relationship or intimacy concerns, and issues around addiction and substance use.
Catherine also supports people managing grief, trauma, sleeping or eating difficulties, and career-related stress. She offers help with attachment and communication problems, caregiver strain, and the emotional effects of fertility or chronic health issues. She also addresses topics such as body image, isolation and guilt.
Her practice accommodates video and audio messaging after initial contact. She has stated working hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and replies to messages during those times. International work is not accepted; sessions are UK based and run in English.
Catherine uses the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration shown as BACP. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the platform process to match and then book a first session. Costs vary by location and are paid through a cancellable subscription model.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Catherine practises Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on the person's experience. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and reflects back what she hears to help clarify feelings and priorities. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and relationship concerns because it focuses on the person's perspective and choices. She places particular attention on chronic illness and chronic pain in conversation, helping people talk through the emotional impact of long-term conditions. In online meetings this can mean pacing sessions to match the person's energy and checking in about practical day-to-day coping strategies. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust how sessions are run as needs change. The biography states that video and audio messaging are available after initial contact. Confirm the exact session formats and how they operate before booking so they fit into your routine. Online options can make meetings easier to fit around work or medical appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time, which helps some people attend more consistently.Sheet 3
