Catherine Johnston, BACP

Catherine Johnston is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem challenges, and depression. She holds BACP registration - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional standing and training.

Working from a strengths-based, client-centered outlook, Catherine treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them identify internal resources to address difficult situations. Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and existential perspectives, allowing her to tailor interventions to each individual’s needs and goals.

Catherine’s work spans a broad range of concerns, including addictions, relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating issues, anger, career stress, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also has a focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, family problems, isolation and loneliness, pregnancy and childbirth, and social anxiety and phobia. Across these areas she aims to help people build confidence, improve coping strategies, and move forward from challenging experiences.

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, and Catherine offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment designed to make that first step more manageable and empowering.
