Cathy Crawford

Cathy Crawford is a highly engaging and impactful counsellor with many years of experience in professional practice. She is passionate and dedicated to supporting young people, adults, and couples to move on from the challenges they face so that they may live fulfilling lives.

Cathy’s approach invites clients to feel at ease and creates a trusting environment for change. This encourages clients to explore their inner world, their present and past challenges, or their difficulties and connections with others. This exploration increases the client’s understanding of themselves and others, which in turn, allows them to grow through relationship challenges and create connections that are enjoyable and supportive. It also gives them the ability to listen deeply to themselves and others to enhance their communication, and to cope when feeling overwhelmed, lost, out of control, or stuck in unhelpful or destructive patterns.

Cathy works with her clients to strengthen their resilience and expand their resources to enable them to weather the rough patches and stressors that life inevitably brings. To do this, Cathy implements a diverse range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities that are client- and relationship-focused. These include Person Centred Therapy, Systemic Theory, Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma Therapy, Grief and Loss Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. Cathy is therefore passionate about providing counselling that empowers her clients to make genuine and long-lasting change.
