Catherine Cassells, BACP

Catherine Cassells is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges and major life changes. Catherine also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.

She uses an integrative approach grounded in a person-centred way of working. That means conversations begin with listening and reflecting. She then draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts and unhelpful patterns.

Catherine aims to keep sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people name what is hard, look at small next steps, and test different ways of responding. Sessions may include talking exercises, values-based goal-setting, and simple behaviour experiments to try between meetings.

For people in stephouseholds or blended family situations she offers help with everyday challenges. That can include negotiating roles, handling loyalty tensions, managing contact with an ex, or organising routines across households. The focus is on what can be changed now rather than on blame.

She welcomes people who are dealing with grief, attachment worries, or long-term health-related strain. Communication problems, money worries, guilt, and isolation are also listed areas she supports. Catherine accepts international clients and works in English.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Pricing varies by location and uses a cancellable subscription model.
