Catherine Norris , BACP

Catherine Norris is an accredited member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with 16 years of experience supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds. She has worked in the NHS, for two well known charity organisations, and in private practice from her home in Berkshire, UK, bringing practical experience across different settings to her therapeutic work.

Catherine offers a calm, attentive space where individuals can explore feelings of anxiety, depression, stress and bereavement and begin to heal. She believes lasting change is possible within a focused and compassionate working relationship, and she supports clients to identify what matters most to them so that values can guide meaningful shifts in day-to-day life.

Her practice emphasises authenticity and the process of becoming more true to oneself after the influence of social and family conditioning. She works alongside clients to make sense of current difficulties, develop clearer thinking and build coping skills that enable forward movement. This often involves exploring past experiences and how they shape present thoughts, feelings and actions.

Catherine uses a pluralistic approach, drawing from a range of therapeutic methods and tailoring sessions to the way of working that feels right for each person. She welcomes the relational nature of change and accompanies clients through their therapeutic journey.
