Testimonials

My name is Catherine Crosby and I am a Mental health professional  educated to degree level with a level 5 teaching qualification and a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.  My approach is based on empathy and respect, and I specialise in integrating talking therapy with a range of therapeutic modalities, offering a personalised approach for your individual needs.  Please see the Testimonials below from my clients and contact me with any questions

“From our very first session, Catherine proved to be a warm, reliable, and insightful guide for me and my partner as we navigated relationship challenges. Having tried several counsellors before, Catherine’s approach stood out as the most helpful by far. I was seeking someone who not only listened, but also brought psychological insight and new perspectives—and Catherine delivered exactly that.

She helped me uncover the roots of behavioural patterns, linking them to attachment and trauma in ways I’d never considered. Her thoughtful questions, calm presence, and practical support helped me recognise toxic dynamics, build boundaries, and better understand myself without shame.

Catherine was pivotal in my recovery and personal growth. Her kindness, pragmatism, and deep knowledge made a lasting impact—and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone facing relationship, family, or emotional challenges.”

"I highly recommend Catherine; she is a compassionate and skilled counsellor who combines her extensive training with a warm, empathetic approach. She is deeply committed to helping her clients find clarity and resilience in their journey."

"Catherine is a warm and compassionate therapist who creates a safe, empathetic environment for her clients. Her dedication to continuous learning and her calm demeanour inspires trust, making her an excellent choice for those seeking support on their mental health journey."

"I've been with Catherine for nearly a year now and have come on leaps and bounds, I feel I have overcome my mental health issues and my journey of self discovery has been amazing. I feel that many people could benefit from the wonderful work she does."

"I have been working with Catherine for a very long time now, and I honestly feel I always will!  She has helped me process heavy childhood trauma that I thought would always plague me. Perhaps it will, but when it rears its ugly head now it no longer floors me. She has helped me grow to love myself, accept who I am flaws and all, and I now speak to myself with respect, understanding and kindness (most of the time!) We have had crisis sessions where I thought I could no longer go on and ‘maintenance’ sessions that I didn’t even know I needed! Having experienced years and years of therapists, CBT, hypnosis and everything in between, I have finally found something/someone that works. So very grateful for Catherine."

"The work we have done with you has been truly transformational. We are incredibly grateful for your insight, time, and patience throughout our journey. While we hope we won't need to restart our couple's sessions, we would not hesitate to reach out again if we do."

 "Catherine is an empathetic and skilled therapist who creates a warm and non-judgmental space for her clients to explore and grow. Her person-centred approach fosters deep self-awareness and empowers individuals to navigate their challenges with resilience and authenticity. Catherine's genuine care and ability to connect on a human level make her a trusted and highly effective practitioner. She is deeply committed to supporting her clients on their journey toward healing and self-discovery."

"I had a challenging experience with counseling in the past, which left me feeling hesitant and worried about being judged. However, Catherine immediately made me feel at ease. She gently guided me through untangling the complex thoughts and emotions I brought into our sessions. Catherine is an exceptional listener, always offering thoughtful prompts when I was unsure of how to proceed. After each session, I walked away with a renewed sense of clarity, additional insights to reflect on, and often a fresh perspective on issues I had struggled to resolve on my own. Her expertise and knowledge are evident, and she provided me with practical strategies for managing an unbalanced relationship. Thanks to her support, I gained the confidence to set healthy boundaries, which has led to immediate positive changes in my life. Most importantly, I now have a deeper understanding of myself and how I form connections with others. I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough – she has truly helped me move forward"

"It wasn't easy but our last session opened my eyes and helped so much, I feel like you literally saved my life."

"Catherine is a warm and patient individual who is able to foster trusting relationships, built upon her wide-reaching empathy and calm nature. She is highly versed in counselling practice and is proactive in seeking knowledge and training to create further areas of strength and understanding."

"I wouldn't want to do this journey with anyone else, you've changed my life Catherine."

"I highly recommend Catherine for her exceptional counselling services, her empathetic approach, active listening skills and dedication to her clients to create a safe and supportive environment for growth and healing."

"Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you, doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone."
