About Catherine
Catherine Foster is a counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about life. She uses a warm, non-judgemental approach and offers time to talk through difficult experiences. Catherine holds BACP accreditation and brings five years of practice in the United Kingdom.
She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, and those facing grief or major life changes. Catherine also supports people coping with relationship strain, family disagreements and workplace issues.
Background and approach
She has experience with LGBT matters, sexuality, women’s issues and compassion fatigue. Catherine believes clients are the experts in their own lives. Her role is to walk alongside people as they identify strengths and try new ways of coping.
Sessions may include talking, creative approaches or pauses of silence, depending on what feels right in the moment. Her style is person-centred, which means she listens without judgement and focuses on each person’s priorities. She offers open-ended work so people can set the pace and length of therapy themselves.
Practical coping strategies and fresh perspectives are offered when helpful. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Catherine works in English and practises with sensitivity to diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Online support
Her practice adapts the same person-centred principles to online formats so the pace and style stay client-led. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which ways of working suit them best and will check in about goals and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Catherine uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, need frequent brief contact or want to reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and everyday life while keeping the same core therapeutic approach.
