Catherine Norris

Catherine Norris is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 16 years of experience supporting clients from a wide range of backgrounds. She works with many presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement.

She offers a calm, safe space for clients to explore their difficulties and begin to heal. Her background includes roles within the NHS, work for two well-known charity organisations and a private practice based at her home in Berkshire, UK.

Catherine believes that lasting change can emerge within a confidential, focused and compassionate therapeutic relationship. Working together, she and each client identify what matters most and move toward a more meaningful life with the client’s values at the core.

For Catherine, counselling often involves helping people reconnect with their authentic selves and consider how social and familial conditioning affects current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She works alongside clients to make sense of present difficulties, to gain clarity, develop coping skills and identify practical ways to move forward, often exploring past experiences and their influence on current patterns.

She uses a pluralistic approach, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods and tailoring sessions to the way of working that best suits each client. Catherine places the relationship between people at the heart of therapeutic work and looks forward to meeting clients and accompanying them on this part of their journey.
