Dedicated to empowering you to deal with life’s challenges

My name is Cate, a qualified and experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in Glasgow (G73 South Lanarkshire).

I offer both short and open-ended therapy, in-person or online.

How I do it

I tailor my approach to fit the unique challenges you bring to your sessions. I will create a safe space to explore where you are at, your symptoms and what might not be working for you anymore. I will bring in different kinds of therapy techniques and tools and offer an open integrative approach.

I have 15 years’ experience working across schools, colleges, university and charity sector, supporting students. Sometimes students got stuck, or in the way of themselves despite being on their chosen path of further or higher education they had worked SO hard to get into! I decided to learn more about how to work and support ourselves when our stuff got in the way, or more specifically when our thoughts and behaviours work against us.

5 years’ ago, I retrained and studied Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and since then offered counselling and CBT to many people that have been brave to reach out when life's inevitable challenges have come along.

I continue to work in education, supporting and training trainee counselling students, this keeps me fresh, up to date and always learning and growing!

I have vast experience in providing counselling support for students and staff working in education, and in the private and voluntary sector counselling people aged 13 to 78!

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

What is Cedar Room Counselling?

A small independent organisation committed to offering a counselling service that is available online and face to face. We are committed to offering kind, impartial talking therapy based on an integrative approach to psychotherapy. In addition group sessions for anxiety and menopause are available and specialist counselling trainers.
Who is it for?

We can work with you from the age of 13 upwards, there is no upper age limit when it comes to talking therapy.
How much does it cost?

Individual sessions cost £50 online and £60 in person, however I will always offer a free 20 minute free consultation to find out more about what you might be looking for and for us to see if we are a good fit.
How do I pay?

After your initial consultation, sessions are completed at a cost of £50 online and £60 in-person and this cost is received via bank transfer 24 hours before your session is due to commence.
How do I book?

You can reach out and complete the online form here and I will get back to you or direct via email on cate@cedarroomcounselling.com
How do I know therapy is right for me?

Don’t worry we will have a 20 minute, no commitment call to chat over what you are looking for and for us to see if we are a good fit.
What happens if I cancel or want to reschedule a session?

I politely request that all appointments are cancelled 48 hours prior to a session booking taking place, to allow other people to benefit from the session time allocated. You can of course reschedule at a time mutually agreed by both parties. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be charged at the full session rate. Just email cate@cedarroomcounselling.com with any changes or cancellations.
How long does therapy take?

It varies on what has brought you to the session. A treatment plan will be discussed with you and reviewed regularly. Sessions can be for a fixed period or open ended.
Where does therapy take place?

You have the option to have online sessions or face to face we can agree this during our consultation. I am also available for walk and talk therapy in a beautiful community garden, southside Glasgow (limited time slots available).
What if I am unhappy with the service?

My aim and hope is that clients will leave any session with a sense of safety and being cared for, however if you have a negative experience, please get in touch and I can refer you to my registered body BACP.

Because of its characteristics (size, diameter, lifespan), the cedar has become a symbol of greatness, of nobility, of strength and of incorruptibility. For Celtic astrology, the cedar symbolises trust

“The heart's affections are divided like the branches of the cedar tree; if the tree loses one strong branch; it will suffer but it does not die; it will pour all its vitality into the next branch so that it will grow and fill the empty place”.
