About Catharine

Catharine "Cathy" Douglas is a counsellor who provides both short-term and long-term therapy with a relational, client-led focus. She emphasizes creating a space where people can explore complex feelings and make sense of the patterns that have brought them to therapy. Cathy aims to make each person she meets feel heard, seen, and respected while working together to access inner strengths and replace unhelpful habits with healthier ways of living.

Her practice is integrative, drawing on person-centered and holistic approaches tailored to the needs of each client rather than following a single method. This flexibility allows her to respond to a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to relationship and life-change difficulties. Cathy believes that self-awareness is the foundation for growth, and she supports clients in developing insight that can lead to meaningful change.

Beginning counselling can feel unsettling, and she acknowledges that first steps often bring uncertainty. In sessions with Cathy, people have room to speak openly, reflect on their experiences, and gain perspective. Cathy holds the credential NCPS, a professional credential in counselling and psychotherapy that reflects her training and commitment to the field.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Catharine "Cathy" Douglas uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the work; this approach helps people build self-understanding and strengthen their sense of agency. She also integrates trauma-focused therapy when past traumatic experiences are central to a person's difficulties, offering structured ways to process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic memories. In addition, she draws on mindfulness therapy to help clients develop present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress and strong emotions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Cathy works collaboratively with each person, exploring goals, preferences, and responses to different methods so they can find an approach that feels right and effective together with a licensed professional.

Online therapy with Cathy can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or while traveling, accommodate varied energy levels, and support consistent progress even when life is busy or circumstances change.
