About Catia

Catia Cosme is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and depression. Catia also works with people dealing with addictions, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem problems, and life changes such as midlife shifts and career uncertainty.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on talking through current problems and noticing patterns that make things harder. She helps clients name strong emotions and find manageable steps to test different ways of coping. Conversations are paced so people can consider small changes without feeling overwhelmed.

Catia also addresses issues tied to family background, separation, blended family dynamics, immigration and multicultural concerns. She works with people facing obsessional thoughts and compulsions, as well as those struggling with attachment or abandonment fears. Life purpose and meaning after big changes are within her scope of work.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and plans. Catia aims to work collaboratively with each person to identify what matters most to them and what practical steps they can try between sessions.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Catia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present difficulties and practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then test small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for stress, anxiety, obsessive thoughts and depression.

She also uses conversational, problem-focused methods that centre on current relationships and life transitions. These approaches look at how past experiences influence present reactions and support clearer decision making about work, parenting or relationship choices. They can be helpful for grief, family issues, attachment concerns and questions about life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catia discusses options with each person and adapts the plan according to the client’s goals, preferences and progress. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs shift.

The therapist offers online sessions as part of her practice, but specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about the exact session formats available when you complete the matching questionnaire.
