Catherine Bezzant, BACP

Catherine Bezzant is a United Kingdom based therapist with nine years of professional experience, recognised by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss, and has developed experience supporting clients with depression, anxiety and obsessive behaviors such as trichotillomania. Catherine approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit the individual circumstances and goals of the client.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative work where the client’s priorities guide the focus of therapy, and she draws on an understanding of attachment, interpersonal patterns and emotional regulation to help people navigate difficult life changes. Catherine recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and she offers steady support through the early steps of engagement and beyond. She is available to work with clients in the UK and internationally, and tailors her approach to meet cultural, practical and clinical needs so each person receives a plan that reflects their unique situation.

Clients seeking help with parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, body image concerns, or chronic illness and pain will find that Catherine adapts her methods to address both immediate coping strategies and longer-term patterns, with an emphasis on practical, empathic, and client-led care.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of trust, closeness and emotional safety. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties to understand and reshape how they connect with others.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of the process, offering empathy, validation and nonjudgmental understanding so clients can explore their feelings and values. This approach is helpful for people dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions and identity questions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing stress, intrusive thoughts and emotional reactivity, supporting people coping with anxiety, chronic stress and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Catherine works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to identify methods that best match an individual’s needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging provide options for people who prefer written communication or need shorter, more frequent support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access care from different locations, and to choose the style of contact that feels most comfortable and effective.
