Welcome, and thank you for visiting.

I’m Catherine, a licensed clinician and trainer based in Bristol, with over 30 years of professional experience in the field of mental health. I specialise in working with children and young people under the age of 18. However, I also provide therapy and training for adults, parents, and families.

Throughout my career—including 31 years in the NHS and 26 as a Specialist Clinician in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). I’ve supported children and families facing a wide range of  complex emotional, behavioural, and psychological challenges. These include trauma, anxiety, depression, sleep and attachment issues, parenting difficulties, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD.

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and evidence-based. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the families I support. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, sleep, behavioural concerns, or other parenting challenges, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence.

Working with families is both a privilege and a joy. Over the years, I’ve been humbled by the strength and resilience I’ve witnessed.

As a parent myself, I understand both the rewards and the challenges of raising a child. Like you, I’ve faced moments of doubt and survived mistakes. However, those experiences helped me grow—as a parent and a professional—and they continue to inform my work with empathy and understanding.

In addition to therapy, I offer workshops and training for schools, professionals, and organisations.
