About Catherine

Catherine Smith helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and self-esteem concerns using a conversational, person-centred approach. She uses hypnotherapy as one of her clinical methods and has 15 years of professional experience. She is registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom.

She works in short, focused sessions that aim to identify what matters most to the client. Conversations often cover coping strategies, practical steps and ways to change unhelpful patterns. Where hypnotherapy is used, it is introduced clearly and explained before any techniques are practised.

Catherine emphasises the client’s own knowledge of their life and choices. She helps people notice strengths they already have and apply these to current problems. This includes support for motivation, confidence and sleeping difficulties.

She also works with issues such as addiction, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. Practical topics like communication problems, body image and managing isolation are part of her practice. Sessions can include talking, guided techniques and reflective exercises depending on client preference.

Catherine has worked in counselling and therapeutic settings for 15 years and holds NCPS credentialing. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How hypnotherapy and counselling work online

Hypnotherapy is a guided method that uses focused attention and suggestion to help change unhelpful thoughts, habits and reactions. It is often used for issues like anxiety, sleeping problems, habit change and confidence building.

Her person-centred counselling approach involves conversational therapy that emphasises the client’s own knowledge and choices. Sessions look at practical steps, coping strategies and communication skills to address relationship strain, grief or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which methods to use based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process can include trying different techniques and reviewing what helps.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm which session types are offered before you book. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions to keep progress moving.
