About Catherine
Catherine Foster is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers person-centred therapy. She brings five years of professional experience and works with people facing a wide range of difficulties. Her approach aims to help each person make sense of what is happening and find practical steps forward.
She focuses on everyday problems such as stress and anxiety, grief and depression, difficulties at work, and family disagreements. Catherine also supports people with LGBT concerns, sexuality and women’s issues, parenting strain, relationship worries and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and places the client’s priorities at the centre of the work. Catherine believes the person in the room knows themselves best. Her role is to walk alongside clients as they talk things through, notice strengths and try out different ways of coping.
Sessions can include talking, quieter reflection or simple practical ideas for day-to-day life. Her style is warm and genuine. She aims to make the first meetings straightforward and calm for people who feel nervous about counselling.
Catherine uses a client-centred way of working to help people feel heard and understood. People can expect an open-ended arrangement where progress is set by their needs. She can offer support for career questions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, and other concerns that affect daily life and relationships.

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
The choice of approach is worked out together. Catherine will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early sessions and adapt her way of working to suit each person. The process is collaborative so plans change as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and travel.
