About Catherine
Counsellor Catherine Foster, BACP, has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and depression, and supports people facing family difficulties, parenting strain and workplace issues. Her work also covers LGBT and women's issues, sexuality, trauma and compassion fatigue.
Catherine offers person-centred counselling that keeps the client’s perspective at the centre. She treats people as experts in their own lives and listens to what they need to say. Sessions can include talking, silence or creative ways of working depending on what is helpful.
People come to her with practical problems as well as emotional pain. She helps those coping with life changes, career questions and low self-esteem by exploring strengths and usable coping strategies. She also offers support for bereavement, relationship difficulty and the effects of workplace bullying.
Her approach is steady and collaborative. Catherine aims to help people find clarity about next steps rather than hand down fixed solutions. She can suggest new perspectives and resources that fit a person’s situation.
Catherine’s practice suits those who want open-ended, person-centred work. The first session is used to understand what someone needs and to agree how to proceed. For current session options and scheduling, people should confirm the available formats before booking.

How Catherine’s person-centred approach works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on focusing on the person’s own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what they hear and works alongside the client to identify next steps. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, relationship strain and coping with life changes.When working remotely, the same client-centred stance applies. The therapist and client review how sessions are going and choose ways of working that suit the person. That might mean more talking, quieter pauses, or using creative prompts to help people name what matters to them. The aim is collaborative decision-making about methods and goals.
Practical benefits of remote work include being able to fit sessions around work or family time and avoiding travel. Remote sessions can allow shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations that do not require being on camera. The exact session formats supported should be confirmed before booking so people know what to expect. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients decide on the best approach based on needs, goals and preferences.
