Cathy Raven
Person-centred/humanistic counsellorAbout Me
When difficult thoughts and feelings make it a struggle to get through everyday life, it’s important to talk to someone who won't make judgements, but will help you understand and process what’s going on. In this way you can begin to take steps towards feeling better. I’ve been helping people in this way for more than ten years, working with individuals facing a huge range of challenges in their lives. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to text, WhatsApp, email or call me.
A bit about me...
I qualified with a Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling in 2012. Since then I have completed many training courses on working with anxiety, trauma, attachment (relationships) and more.
I now specialise in online and telephone counselling for adults (18+) facing a wide range of difficulties in their lives, including anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, childhood sexual assault, relationship problems and many more.
Appointments are open to adults living anywhere within the UK.
During our appointments we will work together to untangle the thoughts and feelings you may be experiencing. We will aim to gain insight into the issues you are dealing with, helping you to better understand what is going on. Everyone is different and the process will move at whatever pace is right for you - I don't set a limit on the number of sessions.
I will not give advice or tell you what to do, but aim to help you find your own way forward.
I recognise how daunting it can be to ask for help, so if you would prefer to email me with your contact details then I will get back to you within 24hrs.

Training and qualifications
I have a Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling from Lincoln College and have worked in private practice since 2013.
I have recently completed the Open University/BACP course in offering Online and Telephone Therapy.
Some of my experience as a counsellor comes from working voluntarily at The Centre for Grief & Loss in Lincoln. This involved working with clients dealing with bereavement, but also with different kinds of loss as well as a range of underlying issues.
I have undertaken ongoing training in various areas of counselling work including working with anxiety, trauma, attachments issues (relationships) and many more.
In 2013 I set up my own private counselling practice where I work with clients dealing with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, family issues, relationship issues, trauma, sexual abuse, gender dysphoria, OCD and emotional issues arising from health problems. I have also worked at Franklin College in Grimsby, providing one to one counselling for students and staff.
I am a registered member of the BACP.
