About Catherine
Catherine Vincent is a PACFA counsellor with 12 years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She also focuses on issues linked to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, and chronic health concerns.
Catherine sees people who want to understand how patterns from their past shape life now. She uses clear, practical conversations rather than jargon. Sessions look at current problems and the old roles or expectations that keep repeating. The aim is to help the person recognise patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Catherine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She works with Attachment-Based ideas to look at early relationship patterns and how they influence trust and closeness now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours.
In sessions she listens and follows the person’s lead while introducing specific exercises when they are useful. Practical skills might include mindfulness practices, behavioural experiments, or values-based goal setting. She encourages straightforward homework that fits into everyday life.
Catherine’s PACFA credential is shown as PACFA. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients at this time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online options button.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and patterns that keep someone stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect trust, closeness and conflict today. It can help people understand repeating roles learned in childhood and try new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine treats the choice of method as collaborative and reviews what is helping as therapy progresses. She will discuss options and adapt tasks to fit a person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time.
