About Catherine
Catherine Teale (Richards) is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years’ practice. She works with adults who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, grief, and life changes. Catherine also offers support around identity and LGBT matters, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.
Her approach is integrative and conversational. Catherine uses clear, practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ways of working. Sessions focus on helping people notice patterns, make small changes, and try different ways of responding to old difficulties.
She invites people to look at both past experiences and present behaviour to understand how they relate. Expect a calm, steady pace and room to reflect on what matters most right now. The aim is to find manageable steps rather than big overnight shifts.
Catherine’s work covers a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, body image and eating concerns, anger, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and complex mood presentations. She draws on client-centred listening to hold concerns while using structured techniques where helpful.
Sessions are arranged through the platform’s booking flow. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment. Costs vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck when life has changed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into manageable parts and offers practical exercises to change patterns. This approach often helps with mood, sleep, eating problems and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early patterns of relating, which can help when intimacy, trust or family issues feel difficult.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which techniques suit their goals and circumstances. That collaborative process means trying things out and adjusting as needs shift.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit better around work and family life, and they can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work also lets therapists use written exercises or short practical check-ins between meetings to build momentum. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor online sessions to quieter times, shorter check-ins, or focused skills practice so therapy integrates into everyday life.
