About Catherine
Catherine Fear is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, and those facing chronic illness or persistent pain. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns and those questioning life purpose.
Catherine uses a client-centred approach. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients name what matters to them. Conversations move at the client’s pace and aim to clarify priorities and next steps rather than provide quick fixes.
She has worked with people affected by addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and with those encountering career and parenting challenges. Catherine also addresses issues such as body image, attachment patterns, anger and sleep or eating difficulties. These areas often overlap, so sessions can cover several concerns at once.
Catherine offers video and audio messaging once contact has been made. She does not offer an ongoing text messaging service. Her working hours for responses are weekdays, 9am to 5pm, and she replies within those times.
Sessions use a cancellable subscription model that varies with location. To begin, the booking flow asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. This process helps connect people with the practical support they need as they think about what comes next.
Client-centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client explore choices at their own pace. This approach is useful for concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship doubts and decisions about life purpose.The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which ways of working suit each person. That means discussing what the client hopes to get from sessions and adjusting the approach as needed. Decisions about pacing, focus and practical steps are made together rather than imposed.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and reducing travel time. Catherine's biography notes she offers video and audio messaging once contact has been made; confirm the precise options before you book. Her stated working hours for message responses are weekdays, 9am to 5pm, and she replies within those times. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments around work or caring responsibilities and to maintain continuity while considering what comes next.
