About Catherine
Catherine Baines is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Catherine focuses on helping people who are struggling with low mood, relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns.
She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about their thoughts and feelings. Catherine encourages honest conversation and helps people find what feels manageable for them.
Background and approach
She describes the first step towards change as an act of courage and offers steady support through that process. In sessions she listens closely to the immediate problems and to the life story that shapes them. Conversations look at practical steps and small changes people can try between sessions.
Catherine pays attention to how grief, stress and life transitions affect daily routines and energy levels. She also works with concerns such as anxiety, addiction-related difficulties, trauma and problems with intimacy. Other areas she supports include parenting strain, career worries, chronic health challenges and issues around body image and attachment.
Catherine offers a calm, patient style and aims for clear, practical next steps. Her background with the BACP informs her approach and commitment to ongoing professional development. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try ways of working and adjust the plan as needed so it fits the client’s life and pace.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when that feels useful. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who find it easier to write their feelings down. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, caring duties and other commitments.
