My Approach

Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a collaborative approach for looking at the way a person thinks, feels and acts, and can help to identify any links to the events and relationships that underlie these experiences which often stem from childhood or earlier in life. Understanding offers a greater opportunity for change. CAT can be tailored to a person’s individual needs and their own manageable goals in a user-friendly and effective therapy.
