About Catherine
Catherine Norris is a counsellor with 16 years' experience helping people when life feels overwhelming. She offers a calm space to talk about anxiety, depression, grief, stress and relationship struggles. Catherine works with people who want straightforward support and practical ways to cope.
She has worked in the NHS, for two well known charities and in independent practice in Berkshire, United Kingdom. That range of settings means she is used to different life situations and pressures.
Background and approach
She draws on this experience to keep sessions focused and relevant to what matters now. Catherine uses several therapeutic approaches and adapts them to each person. Sessions often look at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour.
She helps people find clearer thinking, coping skills and steps they can practise between meetings. Her work aims to help people reconnect with their own values and what matters to them. Conversations are collaborative - she will listen, reflect and suggest ways forward rather than telling people what to do.
Many clients use therapy to make changes, manage loss, or rebuild after difficult events. Practical issues such as parenting strain, work stress, health challenges and addiction concerns are all within her experience. Catherine welcomes people who want a steady, compassionate approach as they work toward clearer goals and better day to day coping.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is something to do together. Catherine will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods so they suit your situation. That collaborative planning means the work can change as you make progress or face new challenges.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face to face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or if typing feels easier. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use these formats to make therapy more accessible across different locations and schedules.
