About Catherine Norris
Catherine Norris is an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) with 16 years of experience working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement. She offers a calm, supportive space where clients can explore difficulties and work toward meaningful change while keeping personal values at the centre of the process.
Her experience includes work within the NHS, roles at two well known charity organisations, and a private practice based at her home in Berkshire, United Kingdom. She believes lasting change is possible through a focused, compassionate working relationship that helps clients identify what matters most and take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
Counselling with Catherine often involves rediscovering a more authentic sense of self that precedes social and familial conditioning. She works alongside clients to make sense of current struggles, develop coping skills, and build clarity about next steps, frequently exploring how past experiences influence present thoughts, feelings and actions. Using a pluralistic approach, she tailors techniques from different therapies to fit each person, recognising that life and change are fundamentally relational and that the therapeutic relationship itself plays a central role in healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Catherine Norris commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy, alongside person-centred ways of working. ACT helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters to them - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating, helping clients improve connections, address attachment issues and heal patterns rooted in past experiences. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, supporting clients to explore their own solutions and build self-esteem.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is worked out collaboratively. Catherine will discuss options with each person, tailoring methods to fit individual needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often adapt approaches in this way to best support a client’s progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit therapy into busy lives, and access support from wherever the client is located.
