Who Am I and What do I offer?
A compassionate, collaborative way of working
I’m Cathy Liddicott, a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist. I work relationally and integratively, which means the therapy is shaped around you as an individual, not a set formula.
My role isn’t to fix you or tell you what to do. Instead, we work together with curiosity and compassion to explore your inner world, make sense of your experiences, and understand the patterns that may be holding you back.
The therapeutic relationship itself is central to this work. Feeling safe, heard, and not judged can be deeply meaningful — sometimes for the first time.

A space where you can bring all of yourself, at your own pace.
Gain clarity about patterns and responses

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if therapy is for me?
Many people feel unsure at first. Therapy is something you often only understand by trying it, which is why an initial conversation can be helpful.
How long does therapy last?
This varies. Some people work short-term, others longer-term. We review this together as the work unfolds.
Will therapy make me feel worse?
It can feel unsettling at times, especially early on, but this usually settles as understanding and safety grow.
