About Catherine
Catherine Dicken is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, family strain, grief and low self-esteem. Her focus includes relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges linked to life changes such as separation or becoming part of a blended household.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations look at what is happening now, how thoughts and feelings affect daily life, and what small steps might help. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Catherine also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions. Narrative approaches help people untangle stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative meanings. Sessions centre on the person in front of her and what they want to change or understand.
People can expect a calm, measured pace. Catherine aims to listen clearly and reflect back what she hears so decisions and actions become clearer. She works with matters that often accompany blended family life, such as communication, loyalty concerns and practical parenting stress.
Her practice supports adults exploring personal change, coping strategies and relationship dynamics. To begin, people follow the site process to answer a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session.
Approaches and how online work can fit into life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions based on their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and decisions that come with family transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current responses and helps people spot repeating interaction styles that cause friction in blended households.The therapist will treat choosing approaches as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify which methods match their goals and personality. Adjustments may be made as therapy progresses so the work stays practical and relevant.
The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around busy family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to join from different places when schedules or travel make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors in the UK, often use these benefits to help clients keep regular contact while they manage everyday responsibilities.
