About Cathy

Cathy’s kind and compassionate nature invites clients to feel safe and at ease, creating a trusting, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for change. This nurturing space encourages clients to explore their inner world, present and past challenges or difficulties and connections with others. This exploration increases the client’s understanding of themselves and others; how to grow through relationship challenges and create connections that are enjoyable and supportive; how to listen deeply to themselves and others to enhance communication; and how to cope when feeling overwhelmed, lost, out of control and stuck in unhelpful or destructive patterns.

Cathy is passionate about providing counselling that empowers her clients to make genuine and long-lasting change in their lives and relationships.
