Your Trusted Psychotherapy Service in Altrincham
Established in 2005, Catherine MacCann Psychotherapy & Counselling provides expert therapeutic support to individuals and couples navigating emotional and relational challenges. With a background in management and business administration, I transitioned to psychotherapy after returning to university as a mature student, bringing both professional expertise and personal life experience to my practice. My approach combines compassion with evidence-based techniques to help clients develop coping strategies, address anxiety, depression, trauma, and improve communication. As a fully insured member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to rigorous professional standards while maintaining a warm, non-judgmental environment.Over two decades, I have supported hundreds of clients through transformative journeys, offering both face-to-face and online sessions at the Hale Village Therapy Centre. My practice emphasizes the importance of self-exploration, recognizing that early life experiences often shape adult challenges. Through structured six-session initial contracts and flexible ongoing support, I empower clients to empty their 'emotional pot' and rediscover life satisfaction. Continuous professional development ensures my methods remain current, while practical accessibility considerations reflect my commitment to client-centred care.
