Miss Cat White

Psychotherapist (Registered)

“I am an experienced CBT therapist working with individuals, groups and organisations. I also provide treatment transtheoretically.I have worked therapeutically for the past 25 years. At present I work as an accredited CBT therapist treating clients within the NHS and through my own private practice. I am registered to accept privately funded clients through BUPA, Nuffield Health, AXA PPP, Aviva, Vitality and other providers (please ask).”

About Me

I offer a supportive space to explore your challenges. My approach blends effective CBT strategies with a flexible, tailored understanding. This means our work together will genuinely fit your unique needs. We can develop practical tools you can use straight away. Whether you're an individual or part of a group, I help you find a clear path to resilience.

Approach

Experienced CBT and transtheoretical methods shape how we move through issues: I keep sessions focused, collaborative and geared toward small, testable shifts you can try between meetings. I work online in English, keeping a steady pace that suits adolescents, adults, couples and groups alike. Sessions blend thinking-and-behaviour exercises with brief reflective moments, often using simple homework to track progress. This practical, adaptable rhythm tends to suit those wanting clear steps toward calmer, more manageable days. My main focus of treatment is mild to complex depressive and anxiety disorders. These include Panic, Phobias, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Grief, Health anxiety, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Eating disorders and Adjustment / Mood disorders. I also have an interest in sleep, weight problems, addictions, stress management and anger issues.

Services

As a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist my main focus is helping clients understand and manage their problems within this framework. CBT is an active therapy, present focused, collaborative and structured allowing the clients to become ‘their own therapist’. This type of therapy empowers the client to take responsibility for their own therapeutic journey, acquiring the skills and techniques to maintain changes made in therapy for the long term. Throughout my career I have worked in a variety of settings, therapeutic communities, schools, occupational health, prisons, secure units, hospitals and the community in primary care. This has allowed me to gain a broad knowledge and experience of human nature and the difficulties there in.I am a fully accredited member of the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (www.BABCP.org), a member of the Association of Contextual Behavioural Science (ACBS). I am registered with the Yoga Alliance and a qualified fitness professional (Fitpro).
