Catherine Kearns, BACP

Catherine Kearns is a BACP-registered therapist (BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, generalized anxiety, loss and grief, depression, relationship difficulties, and feelings of isolation, among other issues, and she welcomes clients from any ethnic or cultural background.

Catherine developed her practice through continued professional education and clinical work, and she later opened her own practice to extend support to more people. She treats each client as an individual, offering steady commitment and respect while fostering an atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgement. Early sessions focus on building rapport and gaining a clear picture of presenting issues so that practical, attainable goals can be set.

Her approach often includes tailored exercises and worksheets designed to raise awareness of unhelpful patterns and to support tangible change. Catherine encourages prospective clients to schedule a live session so she can better understand their concerns and begin collaborative goal-setting. If contacted while in session, she will respond as soon as she becomes available.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Catherine Kearns

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to choose actions that align with their values. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that develop from earlier life experiences. It helps people understand how attachment styles affect intimacy, trust, and current relationship difficulties, and supports building healthier relational patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to test more constructive alternatives. CBT can be useful for depression, anxiety, and improving everyday coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine collaborates with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors methods so they fit the client rather than fitting the client to a single model.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or travel, and they allow registered professionals like Catherine to support clients whether they are local or international.
