About Catherine

Catherine Vis-Christie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and difficult life changes. She also helps with parenting concerns and the strain that caregiving can bring.

She uses a straightforward, listening-led style. Sessions are a place to talk without judgement. Catherine encourages people to name what matters and try small, manageable changes between sessions.

Her approach draws on client-centred principles that place the person's experience at the heart of the work.

Background and approach

She also brings existential ideas about meaning and choice to conversations about life transitions and purpose. Catherine has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS credentialing. Her background includes around 1,500 hours of work with people facing trauma, family conflict and mood challenges.

People often come for help with sleep problems, panic, anger and relationship strain. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, grief, shame, addiction and identity concerns. Catherine works with adults who want a practical, compassionate space to think things through.

Her sessions are available online in English, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on availability.

Online support

How client-centred and existential approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people feel understood. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem and parenting concerns where being heard matters.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when people face life changes, questions about purpose, or feelings of isolation. Conversations often look at values and practical ways to live in line with what matters.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine will work with each person to decide whether client-centred, existential work, or a mix of both best fits their goals and situation. This happens collaboratively, with room to adjust as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and clarity.
