About Catherine Vincent
Catherine Vincent is a PACFA-registered clinical counsellor based in Australia with 12 years of professional experience. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, working from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and already carries resources to move through challenges. Catherine acknowledges the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and provides steady, supportive guidance to help people find clearer direction and greater wellbeing.
Her training and practice draw on a range of evidence-informed methods, and she aims to tailor her approach to each individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while focusing on values-guided action. It is useful for managing persistent anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with meaningful living. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people address relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and responses to trauma in the context of close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Catherine works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adjust the focus as progress unfolds, combining practical skills with reflective exploration.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who cannot attend in person. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt interventions effectively across these formats to support ongoing growth and coping.
