About Catherine
Catherine Donnelly is a counsellor with four years of practice who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She works in a warm, personable way and aims to make first steps into therapy feel less daunting. Catherine uses clear listening and steady support to help people begin to talk through difficult feelings.
Her style is calm and down-to-earth. She focuses on building trust so conversations can be honest and practical.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with Catherine listening first and suggesting small, manageable steps next. People often come to her feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure what to do next. She helps them untangle intense emotions such as guilt and shame and look at what matters for life purpose.
Practical talking and reflective exercises are used to make changes feel achievable rather than abstract. Catherine’s registration is NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in her credentials. She practises from the United Kingdom and works in English.
Her background gives her experience guiding people through grief and trauma while also addressing everyday pressures like work stress and anxiety. Sessions aim to be straightforward and compassionate, with room for pace and adjustment. Catherine invites each person to shape the focus of their work together, whether that means short-term support or a longer conversation about life direction.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will listen to your needs, discuss different options and adapt methods to fit your goals and preferences. She aims to find a way of working that feels comfortable and realistic for you, adjusting pace and focus as you progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when that is useful, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to slot therapy into a busy week and to keep up regular contact as progress is made.
