Catherine Alcock , NCPS

Catherine Alcock is a Person-Centred counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She provides counselling face-to-face, online, and by telephone and holds the NCPS credential (a professional counselling qualification).

Catherine works with clients who are navigating major life events such as bereavement or the breakdown of a relationship, helping them process loss and rebuild a sense of direction. She also supports people who want to recognise and understand recurring patterns of behaviour and the ways they relate to others. A central part of her work is helping clients process past experiences, develop manageable coping strategies, and make meaningful changes that fit their lives.

Known for creating an empathetic, non-judgmental, warm, and friendly space, Catherine tailors the pace of each session to the individual. She views the decision to begin counselling as an important act of self-care and focuses on fostering greater self-understanding and self-acceptance as part of the therapeutic process.

Client-Centred Care and Online Therapy Options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space in which the client is the expert on their own experience. The therapist offers empathic understanding and acceptance while helping the client explore feelings, values, and choices; this approach is well suited to issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, and general life transitions.

Within a person-centred framework, sessions emphasise listening and reflection rather than directing outcomes, supporting clients to uncover their own solutions and build confidence in coping with anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. The therapist adapts to each person’s pace and priorities, making the work collaborative and responsive to individual needs.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - clients can choose the format that best fits their schedule, communication style, and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support during busy periods, and engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
