Welcome to my website. My name's Cathy and I'm an experienced, qualified therapist in Westbury, Wiltshire, working with a wide range of issues and challenges. 

 

If you are finding life challenging at the moment, I offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore your feelings. Whether you're facing specific issues such as depression or anxiety, coming to terms with a loss or bereavement, or simply seeking greater self-understanding, counselling can be really helpful. ​

I currently work from a comfortable, private room in my home in Westbury or online.  Please contact me for a free 15 minute initial consultation to see if we're a good fit without any pressure to continue. 

Welcome

My Background

With over 15 years experience in offering counselling and psychotherapy, my journey began at Wiltshire Mind before I established my private practice so I have experience in working with a wide range of difficulties. I am committed to supporting adults and young people as they navigate life's complexities, including anxiety, depression, loss, low self-esteem and confidence and managing neurodiversity. 

 

My other role as a Lecturer in Counselling allows me to stay at the forefront of therapeutic practice, ensuring I offer you informed and compassionate care. Whether you are seeking clarity on your identity or navigating a difficult life transition, I am here to walk alongside you with professionalism, warmth and genuine empathy. Let's work together to find your path forward.
