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 use my background of working with children in schools, and coaching adults in the workplace to specialise in working with adults, children over 11 years old and couples to navigate trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship issues, 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, or online, 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.
