Experienced Counsellor primarily offering a range of therapies to Adolescents and Young Adults
My name is Cathy Green and I am a counsellor providing both short- and long-term therapy and Mother - Daughter coaching to individuals in Belfast. I also offer counselling by telephone or online, using Zoom and Whatsapp.
I am a qualified and experienced primarily young persons counsellor, registered with the BACP and NCPS Accred. I have gained substantial experience helping young people with their problems across the schools counselling service in primary, post primary and special education. I regularly work with university students at home and abroad.
I also work with adults on a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress and family relationships, within the community, Voluntary Sector and Private Practice. This has given me great diversity in my client work and I am able to counsel within a wide range of settings and groups.
I am also a trained Advocate, Mediator and Mother-Daughter Coach. The knowledge and experience I have gained over many years enables me to offer parental support and guidance as well, as I fully understand the different development stages that young people go through and the challenges they and their family's can face.
