Catherine Keenan

I currently have availability on Monday afternoons, Tuesdays, Wednesday afternoons and Thursday afternoons.

Welcome. My name is Catherine, I am a BPS-chartered counselling psychologist, a HCPC-registered practitioner psychologist and BACP-registered psychological therapist. I draw from a range of modalities to work with you on the life problems you might be experiencing. My approach to therapy is holistic, tailored to you and grounded in a safe and open therapeutic relationship. I aim to offer a space of empathy, warmth, authenticity and confidentiality within which you are able to heal and grow. I work with people facing various life challenges including anxiety, loss, depression, relationship problems, trauma and identity. I specialise in working with adolescents and young adults, particularly with life transitions/feeling lost. I have professional experience in multiple settings including the NHS, community mental health services, university counselling services and mental health charities.

I work pluralistically and integratively. This means I work collaboratively with you, drawing from multiple different modalities that I have trained in to doctoral level and adapting therapy to you and your unique needs. I welcome an initial chat to talk about how we might work together to support you.

While I use a loosely structured assessment (including exploring topics such as significant life experiences, therapeutic goals, physcial wellbeing) my main aim to ensure I understand what has brought you to therapy and how we can work together. 

I offer clinical supervision for psychologists, therapists, counsellors and mental health professionals, providing a safe and supportive space to reflect on your practice, enhance your skills and manage the emotional demands of your work. I hold a BPS qualification in Clinical Supervision, which equips me with the knowledge and expertise to guide you through the complexities of your practice and support your ongoing professional development.

As a qualified clinical supervisor, I offer a collaborative, reflective, and integrative approach. Drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities—such as person-centered, psychodynamic, CBT, and existential approaches—I tailor supervision to suit your unique style and needs. Together, we’ll explore:

Client Work: Discussing clients, exploring interventions, and considering new ways to work.

Therapist Self-Care: Exploring how you’re managing your own emotional well-being and preventing burnout.

Ethical Issues: Navigating any ethical concerns, ensuring that your practice remains aligned with professional guidelines.

Personal Growth: Identifying areas of growth for you as a therapist, and providing space for you to reflect on your values, strengths, and areas for development.

I offer clinical supervision for therapists at all stages of their careers—whether you're a trainee, newly qualified, or an experienced professional. If you're working in a variety of therapeutic settings (e.g., private practice, counseling centers, mental health organizations), I can provide tailored support for your specific context.
