About Catherine
Catherine Dicken is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate stress, anxiety and depression. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for conversations about grief, family conflict and self-esteem. Catherine speaks English and will work with clients to set realistic goals and next steps.
She draws on a blend of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused work and client-centred listening. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and to build small, practical changes that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Catherine prioritises clear, simple tools rather than jargon-heavy explanations. Her practice also addresses addictions, relationship difficulties and problems with sleep or eating. Catherine will support people facing big life changes, midlife challenges, career stress and compassion fatigue.
She also explores issues such as abandonment, attachment patterns and communication problems. With four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines reflective listening with practical exercises. Clients can expect a steady, collaborative approach that balances understanding and action.
Catherine works remotely with people across locations and offers flexible session formats. Her focus is on helping each person find what works for them, step by step.

Online support
Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Catherine will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques and adjust the plan over time. She treats the first few sessions as a chance to learn what fits and to agree on practical steps that feel manageable.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer conversations and visual cues, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, and to continue when life circumstances change.
