About Catherine
Catherine Bezzant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with addictions, trauma, grief, depression and anxiety. Catherine also helps clients facing eating concerns, stress, parenting challenges and compassion fatigue.
She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Conversations are shaped around each person's situation so sessions feel relevant and practical. Catherine adapts pace and style to meet what someone needs in the moment.
Background and approach
Her background includes psychodynamic ideas about past relationships and attachment, and client-centred ways of focusing on the person's own goals. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage difficult feelings and to build steadier responses to stress. Catherine is comfortable talking about complex life changes such as adoption and foster care, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and bereavement.
She also attends to issues like body image, commitment and communication problems, and the effects of abandonment experiences. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Practical arrangements such as session format and scheduling are discussed at the start so people can find what works best for them.

Approaches that fit into online therapy
Catherine uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current stress and closeness. That approach can help when relationship patterns, abandonment or attachment worries keep reappearing in daily life.She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions focus on the person's priorities and pace. This helps people who want a supportive, non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss different ideas and agree on what to try based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can fit into busy days and let someone reflect between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and can help people keep continuity while juggling work, caregiving or travel.
