Catherine Hagan

I provide telephone, online and face-to-face sessions to suit; this is flexible and can be decided on a session-by-session basis.

I work weekdays and weekends, including evenings; my first session is at 10:00 and my last is 17:30.

I have availability for new clients.

My name is Catherine and I am a qualified Counsellor, having gained my Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling from Wealden Institute of Counselling and Psychotherapy in October 2018.

I have been in private practice since March 2022 when I created Insight Counselling; I specialise in supporting women with their emotional health and am also a qualified Menopause Wellness Practitioner.

I am working towards obtaining my Certificate in Trauma and Recovery, and will soon train as a Personal Development Coach and Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner. I hope to later qualify as a Hypnotherapist.

I offer a 30 minute consultation which is free of charge; this is an opportunity to discuss what's brought you to Counselling, what you would like to gain from sessions and for you to ask any questions.

If we feel we can work together, sessions are £50.00 for 50 minutes; payment is required two days prior to session to secure your booking, and your booking may be offered to another client if payment is not received when requested.

Cancellations by yourself within 24 hours (this includes illness), failing to attend or failing to pay for your session beforehand requires a discretionary £20.00 cancellation fee before any further availability can be sent.

Sessions can be telephone, online or face-to-face to suit you, and this is flexible on a session-by-session basis. I work weekdays and weekends from 10:00 until my last session at 17:30.

Sessions are confidential; however, I am required to 'present' clients monthly to a Supervisor to enable best practise and receive guidance. Further, if you disclose a risk of harm to yourself or another, I may be required to breach our confidentiality for safeguarding purposes; if this is the case, I will endeavour to discuss this with you in the first instance where possible. 

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy; I am insured with Holistic Insurance and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.

I am a Humanistic Counsellor so work with you as a whole person, taking into account your beliefs, history and life experiences, rather than solely the 'issue' you may present with; this could include exploring your values and where they came from, your childhood, family structures, personal relationships, attachment styles, working situations, etc., whilst drawing on theory where relevant. 

However, it is important you only 'bring' matters you are comfortable discussing; there is no pressure to talk about anything you don't want to.

I am also integrative-based so utilise the approaches and teachings of person-centred counselling, Gestalt and Transactional Analysis.

I specialise in supporting women with their emotional health; due to the demand for this, there is no space for working with anyone outside this capacity.

Please note, I only work with adults 18 and over.

I offer a 30 minute consultation which is free of charge; this is an opportunity to discuss what's brought you to Counselling, to explore what you'd like to gain from sessions, to enable us to get a sense of one another and for you to ask any questions.

This can be conducted via telephone, online or face-to-face to suit you.

Please note, if face-to-face is preferable, I work from my therapy room in Butleigh, Somerset; parking is available and free of charge.
