Meet Cathy Townsend

My approach to therapy is built on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where we can explore your experiences at a pace that feels right for you. I believe that a genuine, collaborative relationship is the foundation of effective counselling, allowing for a deeper understanding of the challenges you are facing.
I work alongside adults and young people to navigate life's complexities—whether that involves anxiety, low mood, or managing significant transitions. My philosophy is grounded and down-to-earth; I look to help you discover internal resources and practical ways to cope, fostering a sense of resilience and renewed hope.
Ultimately, our work together is about understanding your unique story and finding a path forward that feels authentic and empowering. I am dedicated to walking and supporting you with empathy and compassion as you move forward.
