A big day today.

I'm on the move because the oil and energy giants are making their profits whilst putting small businesses out of business.

I'll be saying a grateful farewell to my practice on 31st March 2025. Goodness me has it been a wonderful location and my clients have loved the space.

Catton Therapy has enabled so many people to change their lives, their focus, increase their potential and find their way through some incredibly tough experiences, fully supported by myself.

From 1st April 2025 I will be in room 15, Diamond House, Vulcan Road North. NR6 6AQ.

New individuals wanting to work with me will have to wait until the 1st of February 2025. That doesn't mean you can't call and make me aware you would like to work with me.

From September this year, I have been incredibly busy and welcomed many new people wanting to discover a way to live differently with themselves.

I have been moved and felt awe with some of the effort and determination that has been put in, to collaborate with me and make lifestyle changes that will stand the tests of life.

I am not everyone's cup of tea because of the straight forward way I practice. I have always lead my practice with kindness, wrapped in layers of compassion. I want the best for every person and will meet you, and your brain just as you are and we will discover the next level of your human capacity together.

"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."

A one to one psychologically immersive session took place on Saturday morning, using creative methods to map the clients traits and their qualities.

This piece of work comes in the endings of a sustained period of personal development. It's like putting the icing on the cake. Sealing the work that you've done across time. Cementing your self understanding.

Morning Everyone.

I am just taking a few moments outside to breath in the warm air and listen to the earth's sounds before I start my working day.

As Autumn begins to arrive my caseload increases, it's a wonderful time of year to attend to your self development and it's as though the change of seasons commands us to look inwards. Perhaps left over from school time conditioning - September becomes the start of a new year.

I would encourage you not to wait until you are desperate for an appointment. This Autumn and Winter is already looking incredibly busy which is amazing but also frustrating for those who want a timely appointment.

Get in sooner rather than later.

New website launch tomorrow morning: katyshoot.co.uk

Best Wishes

The power of attachment:

I had a new client yesterday. It turned out we went to school together, we examined whether it would get in our way and decided it was too long ago for it to affect our work.

Only I think it DID affect our work in a very positive way.

In my reflection after the session I was in awe of what we had achieved within a short time frame.

The client felt so trapped by life that they had contained themselves in a metal container inside a pitch dark room with no way out. Exclaiming multiple times how trapped they felt, moving in an uncomfortable way as the pain in their body matched their thoughts.

As they illustrated the reasons they felt so trapped the grief began to seep out of them. There wasn't a way out.

A few minutes later I asked a 'turning point' question which enabled them to take hold of their dark state of mind and find a way out and crucially to feel the light, warmth and bird song that flooded into their whole body-mind system. Leaving the client feeling hopeful and that they could see beyond darkness.

:: This type of step forward does not usually happen in a first session so I concluded there had to be something else. Although I didn't have concrete 'do you remember this' memories, I did feel warm towards them and knew I had enjoyed their company as a child.

Could the foundations of a good attachment have excelled our work?

I know what I believe.

I have been working in a neurally diverse way for thirty five years. What that means is that, I believe no one brain works in exactly the same way as another.

I design the way I work with a person (or people) to work for them. Supporting them to feel differently from the first hour we collaborate.

Being body lead, before mind, offers my clients a unique experience of their self development.

The perspective they start with rapidly changes as they understand how their body functions with their mind.
