Catherine Bezzant, BACP

Catherine Bezzant is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with people facing grief, addiction, trauma, depression and anxiety, and she also supports those struggling with eating difficulties and stress. Her approach is grounded in respect and sensitivity, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person's situation.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations that focus on what matters most to them. Catherine uses listening and reflective questions to help people spot patterns and try new ways of coping. She pays attention to how past relationships and life events shape present difficulties.

Her practice draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to explore feelings and personal history. Catherine also uses mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming emotions and reduce rumination. Sessions are designed to be practical and paced to the person's needs.

People often come with problems around attachment, abandonment, caregiving strain, chronic illness or body image. Catherine also works with concerns linked to adoption and foster care, cancer, and ageing and geriatric issues. She helps clients think through realistic steps for change and coping strategies for difficult days.

Her BACP credential is shown as BACP and indicates her professional registration in the UK. Catherine encourages a collaborative relationship where the person sets goals and she offers ideas and tools to reach them. To begin, clients complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this might mean discussing past and present relationships to understand triggers and reactions, which can help people make different choices now.

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's pace so the person feels heard and in control of the process.

Existential ideas ask practical questions about meaning, choice and responsibility in everyday life. This can help when a person faces big life changes or feels stuck and uncertain about the future.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Catherine will discuss goals and preferences and together decide what feels most helpful. That collaborative process shapes how sessions proceed and which techniques are used.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions possible for people who live far from a counsellor, and it offers flexible ways to continue work after a life change.
