About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience practising in Australia. She works with people on relationship and family concerns, and supports clients facing anxiety, depression, grief and life changes. Catherine also addresses intimacy issues, parenting questions and self-esteem struggles.
She draws on attachment-informed and emotion-focused ideas to understand how people connect and how old patterns affect current relationships. Catherine uses Client-Centred techniques to keep sessions practical and collaborative. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools when clients want concrete strategies for worry, mood or unhelpful thoughts.
Clients meet someone who aims to be straightforward and respectful. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change next. Catherine listens for patterns that come from family history and helps people try different ways of relating.
She has worked with a wide range of issues including addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, career changes and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiving stress. The approach is to identify small steps that fit into everyday life.
Catherine explains her methods in plain language and works with each person to set goals. Sessions cover practical communication skills, dealing with loyalty or parenting conflicts, and managing anxiety or mood symptoms. To begin, clients are invited to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
Approach and online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. It helps when loyalty conflicts, closeness fears or parenting roles affect how people relate in new households. Client-Centred Therapy is a conversational style that keeps the person’s goals central and focuses on understanding what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy provides practical steps to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and is useful for anxiety, mood and coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals and preferences and choose which ideas to use together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different tools and see what helps in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, avoid travel time, or plan a shorter check-in between commitments. They can also allow people to use audio-only or quieter setups when video is not ideal. The therapist will discuss what format suits the client’s needs when arranging the first appointment.
