Catherine Norris , BACP

Catherine Norris is an accredited member of the BACP with 16 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement. She has worked across the NHS, with two well-known charities, and in private practice from her home in Berkshire, United Kingdom, giving her a broad perspective on how life events and relationships shape wellbeing.

She offers a calm, focused space where clients can explore what matters most to them and begin to make changes that align with their values. Her work is informed by a pluralistic approach, drawing on different therapies to create sessions that feel relevant and effective for each person. This flexibility supports work on attachment issues, relationships, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges and many other areas of concern.

Catherine believes lasting change grows out of a compassionate, collaborative relationship. She helps clients make sense of current difficulties, examine how the past influences present thoughts and behaviours, and develop practical coping skills and clarity about next steps. Her aim is to help people reconnect with authenticity and move toward a more meaningful life with values at the centre of the work.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small, practical steps toward those values while learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that develop in relationships and how early connections influence current ways of relating. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, family problems, grief and attachment issues by exploring relational patterns and building more secure ways of connecting.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic, non-judgemental listening that helps people find their own insights and solutions. It is often used alongside other approaches to develop coping skills and personal clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Catherine will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She draws on different therapies to tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and busy lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists to address difficulties and build skills.
