Catherine Teale (Richards), BACP

Sessions often focus on understanding what matters to the client now and how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. Catherine offers practical tools alongside reflective discussion to help people manage difficult thoughts and emotions.

With four years of practice and a Bachelor of Science degree in Therapeutic Counselling, she has worked with people experiencing eating difficulties, trauma and PTSD, confidence and self-esteem problems, grief and relationship issues. Her background includes supporting both adults and young people through these challenges. The BACP credential listed recognises professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Catherine is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She is open to answering questions about how therapy could fit an individual’s needs and encourages people to ask about styles and session formats before they start. Her manner is described as warm and compassionate, with a focus on building resilience and clearer ways of coping.

Practical aspects of her work include exploring both past patterns and present concerns, trying different techniques when needed, and agreeing goals together. People who value a calm, steady presence and a collaborative process may find her approach helpful.
