Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) Therapist

CAT is an integrative therapy which draws on a range of psychological theories.

• It places the relationship at the heart of therapy.
• CAT is a very collaborative approach, in which the client and therapist work together towards the client’s goals.
• The therapy starts with developing a shared understanding of the problems being faced and how they developed.
• Identifying patterns in the difficulties we face is an important first step in beginning to understand ourselves and make changes that both help and can be maintained.
• CAT explores how the pain or difficulty being experienced can be recognised and alleviated.

In her CAT work, Natalie draws on ideas from a range of therapies, such as

• Compassion Focussed Therapy,
• Mindfulness,
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

CAT therapy is commonly 8, 16 or 24 sessions long, depending on the person’s needs and the nature of the difficulties that brought them to therapy.
