About Catherine
Catherine Smith helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with self‑esteem. Her style is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up to real shifts in daily life.
She has 15 years of experience working with people on relationship strain, grief and loss, and addictions as well as trauma and intimacy‑related concerns.
Background and approach
Catherine also supports people with sleeping difficulties, coping with life changes, and issues linked to body image or social anxiety. Her additional focus includes communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Catherine uses hypnotherapy as a core approach.
In sessions she guides people to access deeper mental resources and to practise new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions are practical and paced to each person, with room for reflection and clear steps to take between meetings. She works with people in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging a time that suits them. Catherine aims to create a supportive space where people can build confidence, clarify goals and try out different ways of coping.

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
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine collaborates with each person to shape session content and techniques around their goals and comfort level. She will talk through options and adapt methods so they match practical needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face to face contact and visual feedback useful for guided hypnotherapy. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check‑ins. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief daily support, or need to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work and home life and to maintain continuity when travel or distance would otherwise interrupt progress.
