Catherine Kearns , BACP

Catherine Kearns is a level 7 multi-heritage licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom who brings five years of professional clinical work, training, and education to her practice. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, generalized anxiety, loss and grief, depression, isolation and relationship difficulties, and many other presenting issues, meeting each person as an individual and tailoring support to their needs.

Comfortable working with clients from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, she emphasises respect for difference while keeping the focus on the client’s experience and goals. Through ongoing professional development she established her own clinical practice to reach more people and offer consistent, compassionate care. She is affiliated with BACP, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Catherine approaches therapy collaboratively, helping clients set realistic, obtainable goals and offering practical tools such as worksheets to increase awareness of presenting problems and support change. She encourages an initial live session to build familiarity and gain a clearer perspective on each person’s concerns. If prospective clients do not receive an immediate response, she may be in session with another client but will reply as soon as she is available.

Clients can expect a professional, committed therapist who values openness, respect, and a practical focus on progress as they work toward clearer understanding and positive change.

Approaches and Online Support for Lasting Change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to commit to actions that align with personal values; it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on interpersonal patterns that began in early relationships, working to improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Catherine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often combine techniques to best support individual progress, and Catherine will help choose and adapt approaches alongside the client.

Online therapy with Catherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and to reach clients who may be distant or have mobility constraints. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain continuity of care, and access consistent support from a therapist regardless of location.
