Catherine Hodgson

Honest, friendly and non-fluffy senior counsellor.  I work with children 11+ and adults.  I aim to keep therapy financially accessible while maintaining a high standard of care.

About me

I’m Catherine, an accredited BACP counsellor and clinical supervisor with over a decade of experience supporting children, young people, and adults across education, NHS, and community settings.

My approach is trauma-informed, ethical, and inclusive. I work creatively and flexibly, adapting to each client’s needs—whether that’s using sensory tools like slime in child therapy, or working integratively with adults, drawing on a range of therapeutic models to support individual goals, preferences, and ways of relating.
Some of the areas I can support you or your child with include:

• Anxiety
• Low mood
• Trauma
• Neurodivergent experiences
• Self-esteem difficulties
• Emotional regulation

I have additional qualifications and experience in working with neurodiverse clients and am passionate about creating a space where each person feels understood, accepted, and empowered to explore what matters to them.
