Hello, my name is Cait and I’m an integrative counsellor and therapist.
I understand that counselling and therapy can be daunting and that choosing what type of therapist seems right for you can be confusing and
overwhelming. I believe that we all are deserving of a safe space in which we can bring parts of ourselves which might be hard to discuss, feel hidden or shameful and be met with compassion and non-judgement. I aim to provide a safe-space for you to feel seen. heard and supported, working collaboratively to support growth and to enable you to make the changes you may wish to in your life.
As an integrative counsellor I bring together different modes of therapeutic working including psychodynamic, person-centred, and existential to create something which is uniquely tailored to you. I aim to meet you where you are and to support you in developing a greater sense of autonomy over your life. This often involves me helping to disentangle the emotional knots which may be preventing you from living as you might wish to. Together we can work through what is concerning you and help you understand what has happened in your past and how it may be affecting your present.
All of the work I conduct is underpinned by a belief that when we are able to communicate openly new ways of being with ourselves and others can be discovered. The work of therapy can be a difficult process, for some challenging memories, thoughts and feelings can be awoken and evoked. Through the building of a trusting alliance between us we can venture these potentially difficult waters together.
I have an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling and have worked with clients on a range of presenting issues and have experience in; relationship struggles, trauma, depression, anxiety, identity, sexuality, self-esteem, family issues and abuse.
The duration of therapy can be open-ended or can be set to a fixed number of sessions depending on what you are looking for. Either way I will make sure we are regularly checking in to see how you are finding the experience and what we can do to make it better for you. I offer an initial 25-minute online assessment free of charge for you to get a sense of whether you think we would work well together.
Fees
My fee is £60 per session. I offer concessionary rates for current psychotherapy/counselling trainees. Please reach out to my email if you have any questions, want to know more or wish to book in an introductory call.

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor.
I provide a warm, supportive space to explore what is going on for you, understand your feelings and reactions, and most importantly, work towards your goals. This might be in adjusting unhelpful thought patterns, voicing what your needs are and exploring together how they can be better met in your relationships or using psychoeducation to better understand what is going on for you when your anxiety spikes.
What is Integrative Counselling? It is a model which draws from a range of therapeutic models and theories, this means that I am able to provide an individualised service.
I am primarily Person-centred, so the process and relationship are central to how I work. This means that I work to maintain a non-judgemental stance; I think that the practice of compassionate empathy is central to therapy and I see the work of therapy as a joint venture – it is not me ‘doing’ but us working together – you bring your own experience and expertise, as well me!
I also draw from CBT, Transactional Analysis and I find thinking about our systems and the people/society around us to be very useful. I find writing creatively and therapeutically useful personally and have seen many clients use it effectively between sessions and after our counselling work has come to an end. I may offer suggestions for writing or work between sessions as this can boost the effectiveness of the work.
I also offer Outdoor Therapy at Eastville Park which is a lovely green space 10 minutes from the city centre. There are lots of fabulous birds and trees there!

About me
I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist, with full UKCP registration, offering affordable psychotherapy and counselling for individual adults on a short or long term basis.
I have undertaken a rigorous training at Welsh Psychotherapy Institute (WPI), over many years to provide me with a robust grounding to support clients facing a wide range of life challenges.
Gestalt means ‘whole’ and Gestalt Therapy is a dynamic approach that works with the whole person. As a relational therapist I pay attention to the relationship as it develops with a client, bringing awareness to what is happening in the present moment. This creates the potential for shifting patterns that are no longer helpful. I include bringing awareness to body sensations and experiences to support this work.
Experience
I have worked in the voluntary sector for over 30 years in a wide range of health and social care settings, including social housing, regeneration projects and for 11 years I managed a charity offering a wide range of bereavement services.
Fees
My fee is £45.00 for a 50 minute session, either face to face or on Zoom. I do have some concessionary rates available, please ask, so that finances don’t get in the way of you seeking the support you need.
First step
I offer a free 30 minute introductory session, via Zoom, to explore how we might work together and if we are a good fit. If you would like to contact me please email eddajohnsontherapy@gmail.com . I aim to respond to enquires within 24 hours.
