Catherine Bezzant, BACP

Catherine Bezzant is a UK-licensed therapist with BACP accreditation and nine years of clinical experience supporting people through addiction, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and OCD including trichotillomania. She approaches each person with sensitivity and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual needs and circumstances. Catherine combines practical strategies with an empathic listening style to help clients make sense of painful experiences and develop clearer ways of coping.

Her work frequently addresses loss and bereavement as well as the complex effects of trauma and abuse, and she has guided clients through recovery from addictive behaviors and mood difficulties. Throughout the therapeutic process she prioritizes respect and emotional safety, encouraging clients to take their time while also celebrating the courage required to begin.

Catherine aims to build a collaborative relationship that balances insight with action - helping clients to identify goals, explore patterns, and practice new skills between sessions. She is committed to tailoring her approach to each client so that therapy fits their life, values, and pace of change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape patterns of relating and emotional safety. In this approach the therapist helps clients explore how attachment experiences influence current relationships, caregiving, and feelings of abandonment, aiming to create more secure ways of connecting and coping.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience, offering empathic listening and unconditional acceptance so individuals can explore their thoughts and decide on meaningful change. This non-directive style supports people working through depression, anxiety, life transitions, and decision-making by fostering self-awareness and personal agency.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices for noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. It can be helpful for managing stress, anxiety, and persistent rumination by building skills to respond more calmly in difficult moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself - Catherine collaborates with each person to identify what fits their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts methods as therapy progresses.

Online sessions with licensed professionals - by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - offer flexibility for busy lives, easier access for people in different locations, and multiple ways to engage in therapy that suit different comfort levels and schedules.
