About Catherine
Catherine Kearns is a counsellor who uses Jungian ideas alongside practical talking therapies to help people move forward. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, stress and life changes. Catherine writes simply and listens closely to what matters to each person.
She draws on several approaches including Jungian therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural tools. Sessions are used to clarify problems, set short-term goals and try manageable steps between meetings.
Background and approach
Worksheets and short tasks may be suggested to build awareness and momentum. Catherine has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration for practice. She has worked with a wide range of concerns such as addiction, trauma, parenting strain and relationship difficulties.
She is comfortable supporting people from different cultural backgrounds. Appointments usually begin with a live meeting so Catherine can understand the situation and agree priorities. After that she and the client plan realistic steps and review progress together.
The focus is practical - small changes that make daily life easier. Catherine encourages people who are nervous about therapy to take a first step. She expects to be direct and warm in sessions, helping clients name what is hard and try new ways of coping.
Her aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to tackle the issues they bring.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online with Catherine
Jungian therapy works with symbols, personal stories and life themes to help people make sense of difficult feelings and changes; it can suit those who want to explore deeper meaning alongside everyday problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck and to take values-based actions even when feelings are hard, which often helps with anxiety and avoidance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss what feels most useful and tailor methods to the person's aims and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy here can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing brief support and reflection between meetings. These options increase flexibility and make regular contact more achievable for many people.
