About Catherine
Catherine Cross is a counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by everyday life. She helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those facing grief, parenting pressures and relationship problems. Her tone is warm and down to earth, and she focuses on practical conversations that help clients feel calmer and clearer.
Catherine has four years of experience in a range of settings in the United Kingdom. Her background includes work for the NHS, a local children’s centre supporting parents, and a charity supporting construction industry workers with mental health.
Background and approach
She has also worked in schools alongside parents of children with special educational needs. She describes herself as integrative, drawing on different counselling styles to meet each person’s needs. Sessions often involve talking things through, noticing patterns in thinking and behaviour, and practising ways to manage difficult feelings day to day.
The aim is to help people make decisions, cope with change, and regain a sense of self-worth. Catherine has a particular interest in neurodiversity and how it affects mental health. She also works with people facing addiction, trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her approach is person-focused and exploratory rather than prescriptive. People who choose Catherine generally want an open, honest space to reflect and plan next steps. She treats everyday concerns as important and offers practical support alongside reflective exploration.

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
Catherine blends these approaches to match each person’s needs. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the counsellor will discuss goals, try methods in session and adjust the plan as things change. Clients are invited to feed back about what helps and what doesn’t so work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person session while fitting around work or caring responsibilities. Phone sessions suit days when bandwidth is low or being on camera is hard. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions and flexible ways to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to try different formats as needs evolve.
