About Catherine
Catherine Noy is an ACA counsellor with 17 years of professional experience based in Australia. She works with relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem and motivation, and a broad range of emotional and behavioural struggles such as anxiety, depression and addiction. Catherine describes working respectfully and with sensitivity to each person she sees.
Her practice focuses on practical conversations that help people understand how patterns from their early family shape current relationships. She listens for recurring roles, expectations and communication habits. From there she helps people identify small changes they can try between sessions.
Catherine uses a mix of approaches including attachment-based work, client-centred conversations and cognitive behavioural techniques. She draws on emotionally-focused methods and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are central to the concern. Sessions aim to clarify what matters, test new ways of relating, and build everyday skills for handling stress and conflict.
Her background includes long-term clinical work addressing grief, trauma and diverse life changes. She also supports people dealing with career shifts, sleep and eating difficulties, and the special stressors that come with caregiving and illness.
People who contact Catherine are usually looking to reduce anxiety, improve connection with partners or family, or regain confidence after a difficult period. To begin, she asks clients to describe immediate concerns so they can decide together on practical first steps.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of closeness and distance in relationships. It helps people notice how early bonds influence current responses and what helps rebuild trust and connection.Client-centred therapy centres the conversation on the person's priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and helps people clarify values and goals before suggesting practical steps.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together. It helps people test unhelpful thinking patterns and practise alternative responses to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work rather than a precondition. Catherine will discuss options and agree on a plan with the client, combining methods as needed to suit goals and preferences. This collaborative planning includes checking how the sessions are structured and what to focus on between meetings.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Practical matters such as session length, frequency and any paperwork are discussed at first appointment so sessions can be arranged to fit everyday life.
