About Catherine
Catherine Kearns is a counsellor who focuses on helping people make practical changes in their lives. She uses straightforward conversations and goal-setting to tackle problems like stress, anxiety, sleep difficulty and relationship strain. Catherine works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
She brings five years of professional experience to her practice and holds BACP membership. Clients can expect an individual approach where their background and culture are respected. Catherine aims to create a calm setting where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
In sessions she often uses tools such as short worksheets and agreed exercises to build awareness. Early meetings focus on creating clear, achievable goals so progress can be measured. These practical steps are aimed at helping people manage symptoms like low mood, worry, sleep problems and difficulties with intimacy.
Catherine mentions work with a broad range of concerns including ADHD, depression, loss and grief, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing complex life stressors such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and attachment issues. The emphasis is on pacing change and building coping skills that fit everyday life.
She invites prospective clients to try a live session to get a better sense of fit. If contact is delayed she will respond as soon as she is available, since she may be with another client. The aim is steady, practical progress toward clearer goals.
How counselling approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by breaking issues into manageable tasks.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It can support coping with stress, chronic health problems and patterns that interfere with rest and daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the public biography does not list specific options. Many people find online meetings help them maintain regular appointments, make brief check-ins simpler and reduce travel time, which can help therapy feel more manageable alongside everyday responsibilities.
