Welcome to Bowbrook Counselling

I am Catherine Harding, a qualified therapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). 

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have Advanced Diploma training in Counselling Adolescents. I’ve worked with many young people transitioning from teen to adulthood and many adults re-evaluating where they are and wanting to make changes in their lives. Prior to working as a counsellor I worked in corporate HR and change management roles, including managing service departments, supporting teams through organisational transitions and individuals through career development and change.

My own experience of living with ADHD for many years before a late adult diagnosis has shaped my therapeutic approach and passion for this field. I know what it’s like to be neurodiverse in the corporate world and how we can struggle in working environments. I understand the challenges we can face in our personal relationships and I know what it is like to parent a neurodivergent child. As well as my personal understanding, my training as a counsellor has required learning and thinking about lots of different approaches to how we become who we are.
