Break Free

Online therapy helping you reclaim your life

About Catherine

I began my training in 2011 and while I initially entered this work to help others, it was through my training and years of personal therapy that I discovered just how transformative it can be.

Therapy helped me reclaim my life, and it’s this lived experience that forms the heart of my practice.

I’ve walked through trauma, Complex-PTSD, narcissistic abuse, relationship and health challenges, major life transitions, and spiritual awakening. I’ve learned to turn struggle into growth and pain into purpose.

For me, this work isn’t just a profession, it's a calling. I want you to be able to finally break free too and live the life you deserve.

Training

I retrained as a counsellor in my mid-30s, after raising children and working in a variety of roles that taught me a great deal about people, resilience, and the complexity of real life. During my training, I spent three years working within a domestic abuse unit and with BAWSO, supporting clients and communities escaping violence.

Since then, I’ve worked in private practice on and off, taking time out once more to raise my children, alongside therapeutic and support roles in education. I have supported young people in a specialist college for additional needs—including autism, learning differences, developmental trauma, and emotional regulation—and later within a primary school, where I offered creative and play-based emotional support.

After stepping back for two years to recover from cancer and anchor my own healing once again, I am now returning to therapeutic work with a renewed sense of purpose and an even deeper understanding of healing.
