About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of experience supporting people through relationship and family challenges. She works with individuals who are struggling with intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, motivation, anxiety and depression. Catherine aims to create a respectful and compassionate space to talk things through and set practical goals.
Catherine uses a systemic outlook to understand how patterns between people affect daily life and decision making. She draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how past relationships shape current ones, and she uses client-centred methods to make sessions work around each person's needs.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when practical strategies for mood, sleep or anxiety are helpful. Therapy sessions are tailored to each person and to their specific concerns. Catherine listens carefully, helps identify unhelpful patterns, and collaborates on small, achievable steps to change.
She also helps with issues such as grief, addiction, career stress and managing life transitions. People who value a calm, respectful approach often find the sessions useful for gaining clarity and building new coping strategies. Catherine respects different backgrounds and sexual identities and supports LGBTI concerns without judgement.
She encourages steady progress and practical problem solving. To begin, Catherine asks about your current goals and circumstances and builds a plan that fits your situation. She offers warm, focused support aimed at helping people move toward more satisfying relationships and better daily functioning.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Catherine commonly draws on systemic therapy and attachment-based work to understand relationships and emotional patterns. Systemic therapy looks at how people influence each other and the habits that keep problems repeating, which is useful for relationship and family-related issues. Attachment-based work examines how early bonds affect current closeness and trust, helping with intimacy, separation worries and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is a step-by-step process. Catherine will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give options that fit different days. Video allows face-to-face connection for deeper emotional work, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed, and messaging suits shorter updates or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel, while still allowing focused therapeutic conversations.
