Dr Cristina Catania (she/her)

Dr Cristina Catania DClinPsy, MSc | Clinical Psychologist & Clinical Associate

I am a Clinical Psychologist with nearly 10 years of experience supporting people across the NHS and charity sector. My approach is warm, calm, and non-judgmental, ensuring you feel you are in a safe space to open up. We can work together build an understanding of your difficulties so that I can support you to heal and move forward with your life in a way that feels more hopeful.

I always work collaboratively and ensure that you feel you are being cared for and listened to as we work out what might be helpful for you. I tend to work flexibly by drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, Narrative Therapy (NT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion Focused Therapy. I prefer to view your difficulties as sitting within a context, and how your circumstances are leading you to feel distressed. For example, thinking ‘what has happened to you’, rather than ‘what is wrong with you’.

I work with people experiencing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, difficulties related to disability, health difficulties, and relationship difficulties. I also have expertise in working with neurodivergence, the LGBTQ+ communities and GSRD (Gender, Sexual, Relationship Diversity). I can support with difficult to talk about experiences including trauma, shame, sexual assault, and rape. My practice is neuroaffirmative and affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities.

I was born and raised in Canada and moved to the UK 10 years ago. I achieved an MSc in Developmental Psychology and Clinical Practice at UCL. I completed my clinical training at the University of Hertfordshire, where I achieved a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
