Trusted Minds Therapy
Welcome, my name is Catherine Crosby
I am a Mental health professional educated to degree level with a level 5 teaching qualification and a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I specialise in working with adults, children 12 plus and couples to navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship issues, AuADHD and life transitions.
My approach is based on empathy and respect, and I specialise in integrating talking therapy with a range of therapeutic modalities, offering a personalised approach for your individual needs. This is particularly effective for those dealing with deep-seated emotional pain, anxiety and trauma, providing tools and insights that bring relief, and restore a sense of balance back in your life.
Counselling can assist with a variety of issues and challenges, I offer support as you work through challenging times, to gain insight into your emotional state and the difficulties you're encountering, giving you the opportunity to explore and reflect. I offer techniques and strategies to help you cope more effectively and navigate life’s challenges.
You choose how we work together, I offer single sessions for specific issues within a fixed timeframe or open-ended counselling meeting weekly for sessions which allows the therapeutic process to unfold at your pace. We can meet face-to-face in my therapy room for our sessions, or meet outside for walk-and-talk therapy, online, or by email to suit your lifestyle, making it easy to access help wherever you are in the UK or living and working abroad.
I am passionate about supporting individuals within culturally diverse communities and promoting inclusivity in my practice, where everyone feels respected, affirmed and heard.

Testimonials
"Catherine is an empathetic and skilled therapist who creates a warm and non-judgmental space for her clients to explore and grow. Her person-centred approach fosters deep self-awareness and empowers individuals to navigate their challenges with resilience and authenticity. Catherine's genuine care and ability to connect on a human level make her a trusted and highly effective practitioner. She is deeply committed to supporting her clients on their journey toward healing and self-discovery."
"It wasn't easy but our last session opened my eyes and helped so much, I feel like you literally saved my life."
"I had a challenging experience with counseling in the past, which left me feeling hesitant and worried about being judged. However, Catherine immediately made me feel at ease. She gently guided me through untangling the complex thoughts and emotions I brought into our sessions. Catherine is an exceptional listener, always offering thoughtful prompts when I was unsure of how to proceed. After each session, I walked away with a renewed sense of clarity, additional insights to reflect on, and often a fresh perspective on issues I had struggled to resolve on my own. Her expertise and knowledge are evident, and she provided me with practical strategies for managing an unbalanced relationship. Thanks to her support, I gained the confidence to set healthy boundaries, which has led to immediate positive changes in my life. Most importantly, I now have a deeper understanding of myself and how I form connections with others. I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough – she has truly helped me move forward"
