About Catherine
Catherine Alcock is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship pain. She works with individuals who are facing grief, self-esteem struggles or life changes and wants to make therapy an approachable step for anyone feeling unsure. Catherine uses a person-centred, or Client-Centred Therapy, approach that puts the client’s experience at the heart of each session.
Conversations are led by what matters most to the person, with the counsellor offering empathy and understanding rather than direction.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to suit each individual’s needs. People often come for help with grief, breakups, or patterns that keep repeating in their relationships. Catherine also supports those dealing with body image worries, guilt and shame, feelings of isolation, midlife questions, and financial stress.
She pays attention to how past experiences shape present choices and feelings. Her practical aims include helping people recognise unhelpful patterns, learn clearer ways to communicate, and find small, manageable steps towards change. Work may involve talking through painful memories, naming emotions, and trying out new responses in day-to-day life.
Catherine has four years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She offers sessions in English and sees people in the United Kingdom. Counselling is available face to face, online by video and phone, and through live chat or text messaging to suit different needs and schedules.

Approaches Catherine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In online work the same person-centred principles apply. The therapist and client will review what is most helpful and adjust how they work together. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process and the therapist will help you find the best fit based on your needs and goals.
Online sessions can take place by video call, by phone, through live chat or by text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can make brief check-ins and reflections easier to fit into a busy day. These options give flexibility so sessions can fit around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
