About Catherine
Catherine Alcock is a counsellor who aims to help people manage depression, anxiety and stress. She focuses on simple, clear support so clients can find steadier days. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental and she works at each person’s pace.
Catherine uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means she listens without rushing and reflects back what she hears so people feel understood.
Background and approach
The work often starts with what is most pressing, such as low mood, overwhelm or relationship strain. Practical goals are part of the process. Sessions can include talking through recent events, spotting patterns that keep causing hurt, and finding small coping steps to try between meetings.
She also helps people make sense of grief, loss and life changes and how those things affect mood and self-esteem. Catherine offers counselling by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. She supports exploration at a comfortable tempo, whether someone wants shorter check-ins by message or longer conversations by video.
Therapy is planned around what feels manageable for the individual. With four years of experience and NCPS listed as a credential, Catherine works from the United Kingdom and delivers sessions in English. People who choose her will find a steady listener and a counsellor who aims to help them build clearer ways to cope and to understand themselves better.

Approaches Catherine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Delivered online, the same person-centred stance applies. Catherine will collaborate with each client to decide what feels helpful - whether to focus on practical coping steps, exploring past patterns, or simply making space to process loss and change. Finding the right approach is part of the work and she adapts to a person’s goals and preferences as therapy unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows longer, more conversational sessions; phone calls can suit those who prefer not to be on camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins and ongoing support between full sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life, while keeping the focus on what the client needs.
