Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Catherine and I am here to help and support you move forward if I can.
I am a level 7 multi heritage licensed therapist in the UK, with over 4 years of professional work experience, education, and training. I have experience in helping clients in many different areas including ADHD, GAD, loss and grief, Depression, Anxiety, Isolation, Relationships, and much more.
I am more than happy to work with any ethnic background or culture, because whilst counselling is primarily focused around the client, it is also good experience and beneficial for therapists to familiarise themselves with other’s racial ethnicities and cultural backgrounds, so we can appreciate and respect those differences.
Through continued personal and professional development I took the leap to open my own successful clinical practice so that I could help more clients. I take each of my clients on an individual basis and afford each of my clients the same level of commitment and respect they deserve.
If you do contact me and you do not get an immediate response, please bear in mind that I shall be in session with another client but I will always get back to you as soon as I become available.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and together we work to resolve issues.
I encourage my clients to book a live session with me so that we can familiarise ourselves with each other and I can obtain an understanding and clearer perspective of my clients issues. From that initial interaction I shall always get to work setting my clients obtainable goals, so they can challenge themselves. Or I may ask my clients to complete worksheets suitable to their issues, the aim being to raise more of an awareness to the presenting problem, then we can get to work solving the problem and bringing about positive change.
I appreciate counselling and therapy can be a worrying experience but “If you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you have always got”.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Being in therapy with Catherine has been incredibly valuable for me. She's created such an open and safe space for me to explore and understand my emotions. Through journaling and our discussions, I've been able to gradually untangle my thoughts and feelings, gaining clarity and insight along the way.
What I appreciate most about Catherine is her unwavering support and guidance. She never judges me or rushes me through anything; instead, she patiently helps me.navigate through my emotions and experiences. Even though I know I'm still early stages of this journey, I feel hopeful about the progress I'll make with her by my side. It's comforting to know that I have her support as I continue to grow and learn how to better approach and process things in my life.

I was nervous about having therapy but I found the sessions with Catherine so helpful. It was so refreshing to speak to someone who wasn’t a relative or friend and therefore I could be completely honest with absolutely no judgement. Catherine was brilliant, she really listened to my problems and helped me review situations with a completely different perspective. She has helped me review my negative overthinking habits and people pleasing. I can take this forward and continue working on this to feel less anxious and happier in myself. I’m so glad I took the step to have some therapy sessions for myself.

Speaking to Catherine has been a great addition to life and the weekly video calls has provided a much needed structure. Putting into practice what we discussed during the sessions and though worksheets has provided a very noticeable lift during the week. Catherine is always quick to provide support outside of sessions through messaging.

Catherine is very caring and supportive of me. She offers a variety of tools to work with and understands the art of listening. We share a lot of laughs but she also lets me cry when I have to which makes me feel very understood. I can recommend her warmly and am very happy I have found her.

Really friendly and relaxed. Highly recommend if you are fed up of the standard “sit there, say nothing” format of other therapists if you feel like that doesn’t work for you. She really encourages you to engage through worksheets and I am really enjoying working through things with her

I’ve only had a few sessions with Catherine but she always puts me at ease and makes me feel listened too. She poses great questions and has great worksheets to help challenge and reflect on my thinking, actions and how I can help manage my anxiety with grounding techniques! I really enjoy my sessions and feel she has great experience and advise to give to help me on my journey.

my first time going/joining therapy and i was pretty worried about it. i was struggling with a few different things and was super anxious about getting help. when i searched and looked for therapy sessions i came across betterhelp so i decided, okay just try. i got catherine kearns as my therapist and our first video call put me at ease. her energy was so welcoming and open. no judgment nothing, just listening to what i had to say and being super respectful. she gave me tips and told me about some things i had to work on. i was able to text her whenever i needed to and she replied as soon as she could. meant a lot since her replies were prompt. couldn’t have asked for someone better
