Catherine Kearns , BACP

Catherine Kearns is a level 7 multi heritage licensed therapist based in the UK who aims to support people as they move forward through life’s challenges. She brings over four years of professional experience, training, and education to her practice and has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, generalized anxiety, loss and grief, depression, isolation, relationship difficulties, and more.

She welcomes clients from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds and values the learning that comes from understanding diverse perspectives. Catherine opened her own clinical practice after continued professional development so she could extend support to more people, and she treats each client as an individual, offering consistent commitment and respect.

In sessions she works to create an open and nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be explored, and where practical steps toward resolution are developed collaboratively. She encourages an initial live session to build familiarity and gain a clearer view of presenting issues, then works with clients to set obtainable goals. At times she may use worksheets tailored to a client’s concerns to increase awareness and begin making tangible changes.

Catherine recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting, and she offers steady support for those ready to take the first step toward a more fulfilling life. If she is unavailable immediately when contacted, she will be with another client and will respond as soon as possible.

Approaches Catherine Uses and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking steps toward a meaningful life. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence present-day patterns in connections and trust, working to improve closeness and relationship dynamics for those struggling with attachment, intimacy, or family issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathetic listening and support so individuals can explore their experience and move toward self-directed change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Catherine will work collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides how sessions proceed and which methods are used.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and choose the format that feels most comfortable, while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists committed to practical progress.
