Catia Cosme , BACP

Catia Cosme is a UK-based therapist with 4 years of professional experience, registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and depression, and has experience working with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting and family issues, LGBT matters, career and life changes, and compassion fatigue.

She aims to offer a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and emotions and work toward clearer coping strategies. Her practice emphasizes practical tools and thoughtful conversation to help clients manage overwhelming feelings, navigate relationship difficulties, and process loss. She also addresses issues related to self-esteem, anger, obsessions and compulsions, and attachment and family-of-origin dynamics.

Catia acknowledges that reaching out for help takes courage and recognizes the significance of that first step. She works collaboratively with clients to set priorities and build a plan that reflects each person’s needs and goals. Therapy is offered in English and is tailored to the individual circumstances presented in sessions.

Evidence-based techniques and online care

Catia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical skill-building with thoughtful conversation. One common strand focuses on skills-led work that teaches coping strategies for managing stress, anxiety, cravings, and overwhelming emotions, helping clients develop tools they can use between sessions. Another strand emphasizes processing experiences through guided discussion and reflection to address grief, relationship dynamics, attachment concerns, and patterns that contribute to depression or self-esteem difficulties.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work. Catia partners with each client to explore what feels most helpful, tailoring techniques to their goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. That collaboration helps determine whether more skills-based exercises or deeper exploratory work is best at different stages of therapy.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care from home or while traveling. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, more ways to communicate between sessions, and options that suit different communication styles, all while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to deliver consistent, evidence-informed support.
