There is no one-size-fits-all way to feel better.

Sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to begin. You might be feeling overwhelmed, held back by past experiences, or simply not quite like yourself.

My work starts with understanding you. Not just a label or a symptom, but your experiences, your needs, and the way you see the world. Together, we can find an approach that feels right for you.

Cathy

Whatever has brought you here, we can start there.

People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons. These are some of the areas I can help you explore.

Anxiety & depression

Making sense of anxious thoughts, low mood and emotional patterns that can feel difficult to shift.

Trauma & PTSD

Working carefully with experiences that may still be affecting how you feel in the present.

Phobias & addictive patterns

Exploring fears, reactions and behaviours that may be limiting your choices or everyday life.

Confidence & performance

Finding your footing around self-belief, everyday challenges and the goals that matter to you.

Sleep difficulties

Understanding what might be contributing to disrupted sleep and a mind that struggles to settle.

Preparation & integration

Support surrounding legally accessed psychedelic experiences, without offering psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Let’s talk about it ↗

Hi, I’m Cathy.

Real conversations.
Individual care.

I’m Cathy Powell — a trauma therapist, InCorr Method practitioner, Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapist, Master NLP practitioner and neurodiversity specialist.

I believe that no two people experience the world in quite the same way. Rather than fitting you into a ready-made programme, I take time to understand your experiences, your needs and what may be keeping you stuck.

My approach draws from different therapeutic methods, including the body-centred InCorr Method, and is guided by what feels most appropriate for you.

More about Cathy and her qualifications

The right approach is your approach.

There is no standard script for being human. I work flexibly, drawing on different approaches as we make sense of what you need.

Explore the InCorr Method

The InCorr Method

A body-centred therapeutic process that explores the emotional and physical responses linked to painful past experiences.

Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy

A flexible framework bringing together therapeutic techniques, chosen with the individual rather than applied as a fixed formula.

Neurodiversity-informed support

Care that respects differences in how people think, feel, communicate and experience the world.

A closer look at the work.

Sometimes the clearest explanation comes from hearing the people behind the therapeutic approaches. These three films offer a useful introduction.

The InCorr Method

Shauna Quigley explains how the body-centred InCorr approach helps people understand patterns connected with painful past experiences.

What is Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy?

A concise introduction to Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy, the principles behind the approach, and how therapy can be adapted to each person.

Changing negative thoughts and trauma patterns

Trevor Silvester, founder of Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy, in conversation with Tim Gray about beliefs, emotional patterns and therapeutic change.

Kind words from clients.

Shared experiences, in their own words.

I loved that I didn’t have to do anything until I was ready; there was no judgement whatsoever, it always just felt like an open and honest conversation.

A simple place to begin.

Finding the right therapist is a personal decision. That’s why I offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute phone or video consultation so we can talk about what’s brought you here and what working together might look like.
