About Catherine Kearns
Catherine Kearns is a level 7 licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom and registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She brings five years of professional experience, training, and clinical work to her practice and has supported people through a wide range of concerns including ADHD, generalized anxiety, loss and grief, depression, isolation, relationship difficulties and more. Catherine works from a client-focused perspective, offering individualised care that recognises each person’s unique background and cultural experience.
Through ongoing personal and professional development she established her own clinical practice to extend her reach and support more people. She approaches therapy with commitment and respect, encouraging clients to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment and to set achievable goals. Early sessions often focus on building rapport and gaining a clearer understanding of presenting issues so that practical, tailored strategies can be agreed upon. Catherine commonly uses structured exercises and worksheets to increase awareness of problems and to support change over time.
She invites prospective clients to book an initial live session to familiarise themselves and to begin goal setting. If she does not respond immediately to an inquiry it is likely she is in session, but she will reply as soon as she becomes available. Catherine frames change as an active process and often reminds clients that repeating the same actions will tend to reproduce the same results, encouraging steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Catherine draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape patterns in current relationships and emotional responses, helping with intimacy issues, attachment difficulties and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, offering practical tools for anxiety, low mood, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Catherine works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit best with their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier for people in different locations or with busy schedules to access licensed professionals and to maintain continuity of care while working toward personal goals.
