Foster personal growth

Are you or a loved one facing anxiety, grief or relationship difficulties?

Are you a  Supervisee looking for a reflective, supportive space to deepen your work, stay resourced and keep your practice ethical and sustainable?

My name is Catherine Crosby, I am a mental health professional, integrative counsellor and clinical supervisor, offering in-person and online counselling and supervision, and I am registered with the BACP.

My own experience of therapy is part of what draws me to this work, it showed me first-hand how powerful it can be to have a safe, non-judgemental space to be truly heard. That experience continues to shape how I work with every client and Supervisee. 

My background spans the NHS, wider mental health services, and education, giving me experience of working with a broad range of people and presenting issues from trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction and grief, to relationship difficulties, AuDHD, LGBTQ+, identity and major life transitions.

My Clients

As an integrative practitioner, I do not work with a single fixed model, instead, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to what you need. 

I offer  a personalised approach suited to your individual needs, providing tools and insights that bring relief and restore balance.

You choose how we work together, I offer single sessions for specific issues or open-ended counselling meeting regularly for sessions which allows the therapeutic process to unfold at your pace, in person or online making it easy to access help wherever you are in the UK or abroad. 

My Supervisees

I offer integrative clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists,  couple therapists and coaches, providing a thoughtful, supportive space to reflect on your practice, strengthen your clinical judgement, and work through what's arising in your client work with confidence.

With a postgraduate certificate in supervision, I work from the Hawkins and Shohet Seven-Eyed Model  

We explore your client work, the relationship, your interventions and decisions, your own responses, and the wider systemic and ethical picture

Working collaboratively, we draw on a broad foundation of psychological theory and ethical frameworks to deepen understanding, enhance clinical skills, and promote best practice

My qualifications and experience includes the following specialist therapeutic areas:   

Couples therapy, including Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT) and psychosexual therapy

Individual trauma work, including EFIT, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the Flash technique for trauma 

I also have experience as a counselling tutor, working with trainees as well as qualified practitioners

I am passionate about supporting individuals within culturally diverse communities and promoting inclusivity in my practice, where everyone feels respected, affirmed and heard.

Do I need to prepare for my counselling session?

Preparing for a counselling session is not necessary but can sometimes help you get the most out of your time and make the experience more effective. This may involve reflecting on your concerns, being open and honest, and managing your expectations. 

Is Counselling confidential?
 

Trust is a big part in you feeling safe to talk to me about your thoughts and feelings. Confidentiality is important in creating this trust and helps create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges without fear of judgment.  

Testimonials

Individual Client: Childhood Trauma 

Working with you as my counsellor has been a profoundly supportive experience, transforming my initial feelings of being overwhelmed and lost into a sense of clarity and self-acceptance. Our sessions, particularly the inner child work and discussions around relationships, helped me understand and address the impact of childhood trauma, leading to improved boundaries and communication in my relationships, and a significant decrease in self-criticism. The most impactful aspects were your gentle guidance in connecting past experiences to present feelings, and the consistent emphasis on self-compassion, which surprisingly accelerated my progress and left me feeling lighter after each session.”

Individual Client: Anxiety and Low self esteem 

"I had not had therapy before and didn't know what to expect. I was very grateful for your calm reassuring manner, guiding me through our sessions so it never felt anything other than safe. You are insightful, creative, and kind, and an excellent and judicious listener, who picked up many things from our conversation that I wasn't aware of myself, and very quickly helped me to focus on some real areas where work could be done. At the beginning of our sessions, I felt quite lost and confused, with a multitude of different things going on in my life and no real idea of how to make sense of them.  I now feel that we managed to untangle that mess. It was interesting to see how the issues that came up in our very first session were key to the deeper work that we did later. The final couple of sessions where we touched on internal family systems and the concept of parts really seemed to touch on something fundamental in what was troubling me, and was not something that I had never thought of or experienced before. I am also grateful for your recommendations of tools and resources which has enabled me to continue working on my wellbeing after our sessions have finished."

Individual Client: Trauma and addiction

"I have been working with Catherine for a very long time now, and I honestly feel I always will!  She has helped me process heavy childhood trauma that I thought would always plague me. Perhaps it will, but when it rears its ugly head now it no longer floors me. She has helped me grow to love myself, accept who I am flaws and all, and I now speak to myself with respect, understanding and kindness (most of the time!) We have had crisis sessions where I thought I could no longer go on and ‘maintenance’ sessions that I didn’t even know I needed! Having experienced years and years of therapists, CBT, hypnosis and everything in between, I have finally found something/someone that works. So very grateful for Catherine."
