Why a private counsellor?

Sometimes the hardest part is simply letting yourself have the space to talk. I work in Sunniside and I really feel it feels that little more private than being right in the city centre.

Private counselling can offer comfort, confidentiality and support at your own pace also. No one session missed and you are out, no crowded waiting rooms, no only 6 sessions.

No pressure. Just a safe space to be yourself.

Feeling really grateful and excited after some lovely meetings yesterday ✨
I met with NE BIC and the NE Growth Hub and now have a mentor to support me as I continue developing my workplace menopause empowerment programme, alongside access to business courses and support going forward. Am also on with the development of ©The Ripple Effect - a workplace workshop to support partners of ladies in menopause, often a forgotten demographic 🥰.
I’ve also had interest from two CPD accreditation bodies, which honestly feels a bit surreal after putting so much heart into creating this programme.
It’s still early days, but it feels like things are starting to align and move forward in a really positive way 💛
Thank you to everyone who’s encouraged and supported me so far, I appreciate every single one of you 💜

💬 Did you know 14 million working days are lost each year in the UK due to menopause?

Behind that number are women showing up every day while feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or not quite themselves…
some even quietly wondering if they can keep going, or thinking about stepping away from their careers altogether 😔

That’s why I’ve created a 6-week Workplace Menopause Empowerment Programme—offering support, understanding, and space to rebuild confidence.

I’m starting to work with local businesses across Gateshead and the North East to bring more awareness and compassion into the workplace.
With more focus on menopause support for larger organisations coming in 2026, now is a really good time to start the conversation.

Why combine massage and reiki? ✨

It’s simple, you will receive ultimate relaxation! 💜

The positive physical effects on the muscles through therapeutic massage followed by a reiki session will further promote stress reduction ☺️

A combination of these two effective therapies is a wonderful way to balance mind and body. So book in with Cat and take some time for yourself 🪷
