About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns and supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and sleep difficulties. Catherine aims to create respectful, compassionate sessions that fit each person's needs.
She works in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions focus on talking through what matters now and building practical steps for change. Catherine tailors the pace and topics to individual goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Catherine draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She also uses client-centred listening to make space for a person’s story and CBT techniques to try small experiments and change unhelpful thinking. These approaches are used together to address intimacy, parenting concerns, addictions, eating and mood issues among others.
Her background includes supporting people through difficult life transitions such as separation, caregiving stress, illness and bereavement. Catherine also has experience with workplace-related compassion fatigue and first responder stress, and she helps those coping with ADHD and bipolar-related challenges.
People who consult Catherine can expect direct communication about goals, clear options for next steps, and an emphasis on practical strategies that fit day-to-day life. She encourages clients to bring questions about sleep and rest so they can be included in the plan.
Approach-driven online support for relationships and sleep
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. It helps people notice repeated behaviours in close relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs space to make sense of emotions and values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and routines that maintain problems; it offers practical experiments and small habit changes that help with anxiety, sleep and low mood.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. That collaboration helps decide whether attachment work, client-centred listening, CBT, or a mix is the best fit for relationship difficulties, sleep concerns and other priorities.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during work breaks. Some formats are better for shorter updates, while others suit deeper conversation; the therapist will help match session length and frequency to daily life and treatment goals.
