About Catherine
Catherine Smith is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and related concerns such as addictions and sleeping problems.
Catherine focuses on practical conversations that help people notice what gets in the way of daily life. She treats social anxiety and phobia as one of the areas she addresses and offers hypnotherapy alongside talking-based work. Sessions aim to clarify what the person wants to change and identify small, manageable steps toward that goal.
Her approach begins by listening to the person’s story and strengths. She uses straightforward techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and to build confidence when facing difficult situations. Hypnotherapy is offered as an option to help access calm and focus during therapeutic work.
Catherine also helps with issues such as body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness and finding life purpose. She includes practical tools for coping with life changes and for improving relationships and intimacy-related worries.
People who choose her work can expect a direct, conversational style and a focus on clear aims for each session. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How hypnotherapy and talking therapies work online
Many clients combine talking work with hypnotherapy to address anxiety, phobias and stress. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help reduce intense reactions and support calmer responses in stressful situations. It can be used alongside conversation-based techniques to practise coping steps and build confidence.Talking-based work focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours in everyday life. This approach helps people break down situations that feel overwhelming, rehearse practical steps and review what worked between sessions. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try and adjust them over time to fit the client’s goals.

Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt hypnotherapy and talking techniques to an online setting so the work can be practical and focused even when you are not in the same room.
