About Catherine
Catherine Pinder is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression and related concerns. She aims to create a calm space where clients feel heard and can start to make small, steady changes. Her manner is grounded and practical, designed to suit someone looking for clear support during a difficult time.
Catherine uses a humanistic and integrative approach that draws on her varied background. She adapts sessions to each person rather than following a rigid method.
Background and approach
That means conversations can include talking through feelings, exploring past experiences, and trying out coping strategies that might work day to day. Her wider experience includes mentoring, youth work, and roles supporting vulnerable people. Those roles gave her a close view of how trauma, loss and exploitation affect everyday life.
She brings that perspective into sessions while keeping the focus on what the client needs now. Catherine has worked with issues such as anxiety, stress, grief, ADHD and matters related to LGBT identity. She also supports people dealing with long-term illness, caregiver strain, body image and attachment concerns.
Common topics in sessions include managing overwhelming emotions and improving communication with others. Clients can expect a steady, non-judgemental approach that balances emotional support with practical suggestions. Catherine encourages people to set small goals and build skills that help between sessions.
She accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally and carries out counselling in English.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Catherine will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client’s situation. She encourages feedback and adapts the plan over time so the work remains useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use body language and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in suits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief reflections, jotting down thoughts between sessions or when you prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while still receiving consistent support.
