Catherine Counihan is an Integrative Psychotherapist working in private practice in London. She is the mother of twin girls and one of her areas of expertise is the intersection between our own trauma and our parenting. Cath specialises in complex trauma, perfectionism, nervous system healing, shifting dysfunctional patterns in our families and reparenting. Her passion is to shift shame and help each client gain an embodied sense of being good enough. 

Helping her clients develop an appreciation for the ways they have learned to survive breaks down shame and focusing on post-traumatic growth brings hope. Cath had done a lot of her own personal work and her own trauma therapy prior to having kids and, despite this, was set back to emotional ground zero by motherhood. Cath hosts a weekly podcast 'Grow Yourself Up' focused on how we can learn to tend to ourselves in adulthood when we have not had our needs met as children and the challenges of doing this as we parent. She also writes, has taught at the Bowlby Centre in London and will begin teaching for the International Attachment Network in 2023. She is registered with and accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). She has more than a decade of experience seeing clients and had a previous career in financial services, working in investment banks and as a management consultant.
