About Catherine

Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, as well as personal issues like self-esteem, motivation and coping with life changes. Catherine speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel achievable for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Sessions centre on understanding emotions, improving communication and rebuilding connection.

Background and approach

Catherine adapts how she works to match each person’s situation and goals rather than using a single formula. Practical problems such as sleep, eating, work stress, and caregiving strain are addressed alongside bigger emotional themes like trauma, grief, shame and forgiveness. She also offers help with addiction-related concerns, bipolar and depression management strategies, and coaching for career transitions.

The tone in sessions is respectful and down-to-earth. Catherine has a particular interest in blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, attachment struggles and caregiver stress. She supports people coping with divorce, separation and other major life changes.

Her approach draws on cognitive behaviour ideas and narrative techniques where they fit the person’s needs. Her work is collaborative and aims to help people find clearer ways to communicate and feel more confident in relationships. Catherine encourages clients to set realistic goals and to review progress regularly so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online support

Emotion and connection online: approaches that guide work

Catherine commonly draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and shift difficult emotions that get in the way of connection. This approach looks at emotional patterns and aims to change how people respond to one another in close relationships.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and expectations. That work can help people understand why they feel unsafe or withdrawn and learn different ways of relating. Her client-centred stance means sessions stay focused on each person’s concerns and priorities, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering practical feedback.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Catherine will discuss different ways of working and decide collaboratively which methods suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This helps keep the work relevant and responsive as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more involved conversational work and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work or family life and to keep continuity during times of change.
