About Catherine
Catherine Norris is a counsellor with 16 years of experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and bereavement. She offers a calm space to talk and helps people find clarity when life feels overwhelming. Catherine works with individuals from many backgrounds and aims to focus on what matters most to each person.
She has worked in the NHS and for two well known charities, and has also run a independent practice from her home in Berkshire, United Kingdom.
Background and approach
That range of settings has given her experience with a wide variety of life difficulties and losses. Her BACP accreditation is noted as a professional credential. Catherine uses a pluralistic approach, which means she draws on different therapies to suit each person.
Sessions often look at how past relationships affect current thoughts and feelings. She helps clients build coping skills and practical ways to move forward. Her work places values and personal meaning at the centre of therapy.
Conversations may involve exploring what a meaningful life looks like and small steps to align day-to-day choices with those values. Catherine aims to keep sessions focused, compassionate and practical. People who choose Catherine can expect a steady, relational way of working.
She will listen, reflect and help you make sense of current problems. The emphasis is on finding clarity, managing distress and taking actions that fit your goals.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works collaboratively to see which methods fit your needs and goals. She adapts techniques as you go, so therapy stays relevant and practical rather than following a fixed script.
Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions or short live chat messages are useful for check-ins or when internet bandwidth is low. Text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing and want flexible ways to reflect between sessions. These options offer flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on making steady progress together.
