About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on helping people with relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, parenting strain, self-esteem, anxiety, stress and life changes. Catherine aims to meet clients with sensitivity and practical support so they can take the next step forward.
Her approach is conversational and tailored. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Catherine works to understand patterns of attachment and communication and then helps people try new ways of relating and coping.
She uses a mix of approaches including attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. She also draws on cognitive behavioural strategies and emotionally-focused work to address thoughts, feelings and interaction patterns. Practical tools and small experiments between sessions are often part of the plan.
Catherine has supported people through grief, trauma and addiction concerns as well as challenges like caregiving stress, blended family problems and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She also helps with career setbacks, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Many clients come for a clearer sense of direction and steadier relationships. Catherine describes therapy as a collaborative effort where goals are agreed and adjusted over time. She invites people to start with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session to see if the style fits.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Catherine draws on attachment-based work and emotionally-focused therapy to help people notice patterns in relationships and express feelings more clearly. Attachment-based ideas look at how early connection shapes current relationships, and emotionally-focused work helps people name and work with strong emotions to improve closeness and trust in relationships.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. CBT tools can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and turning intentions into manageable actions between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try different methods if needed, and together decide what helps most. You can expect a mix of listening, in-session experiments and practical exercises to try between meetings.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and fewer barriers to attending when travel is difficult. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm current session options before booking.
