Catherine Norris, BACP

Catherine Norris is an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with 16 years of experience supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds who face issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement. She creates a calm, respectful space for exploring difficult emotions and identifying practical ways to cope and move forward.

Her background includes work within the NHS, roles at two well-known charity organisations and private practice from her home in Berkshire, United Kingdom. She believes that meaningful, lasting change is possible when therapy focuses on a person’s values and is delivered with compassion and professional focus.

Counselling with Catherine emphasizes authenticity and helping people reconnect with who they want to be beyond social and familial conditioning. Her approach often explores how past experiences influence present thoughts, feelings and behaviours and aims to build clarity, coping skills and constructive ways to progress. She uses a pluralistic method, drawing on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. The relational nature of therapy is central to her work, with an emphasis on understanding patterns within relationships as part of the path to change.
