I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and have an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Iron Mill College, a BACP-accredited institution. I work with clients of all ages over 18, experiencing a wide range of issues including bereavement, depression and anxiety, affects of past traumas, sexual and domestic abuse, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and phobias. As well as working face to face in Exeter and Ashburton, I offer online counselling.
A qualified Mindfulness teacher, having undertaken training through University of Exeter, I offer this as a way to ground the sessions and, where appropriate, guide clients to engage in an embodied relationship to their emotional world. Since 2022 I have volunteered as a counsellor, at a centre which offers low-cost session for clients, many of whom have experienced domestic or sexual abuse. Prior to working as a counsellor, I facilitated Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction courses for individuals, general public groups and school teachers.
I have a background in the arts and in the not-for-profit sector helping the development of a wide range of UK and international charities.
Singing, growing veg and meditation keep my feet on the ground and my heart open.
I look forward to meeting you.
“Would highly recommend Cat. Very welcoming and helpful. Her sessions have truly helped me to deal with everyday life. I feel like I now have the tools to deal with anxiety-provoking situations and general stress a lot better.“
“Thank you so much for holding the space when I was in the middle of a rollercoaster of emotions! It really helped me process.”
