Welcome to Catherine Montague Psychotherapy, based in Wokingham, Berkshire.
Navigating life is like trekking through a wild forest—there are roots to trip on, thorns to scratch you, but also sunlight breaking through the canopy. It can be tough to handle life when you're feeling hurt and worn out by what you've been through. If you're struggling with relationships, dealing with work stress, or trying to break through emotional hurdles, I'm here to offer caring support.
During your time with me, you'll find a secure and open environment where you can think about and talk about your thoughts, emotions, and actions. My aim is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, learn healthier ways to deal with challenges, and start moving towards a better future.
Hi, I'm Catherine Montague
I am an integrative therapist, who believes in the power of positive relationships, inviting and accepting your vulnerabilities to give you a feeling of belonging enabling you to accept yourself and others. I have a particular grounded style where I appreciate how frustrating and devastating it can be to suffer from mental health issues, I aim to help you gain clarity of thought, resilience and a sense of peace.
Stress management and burnout prevention. Understand your drivers and assess if you are living your values.
Help manage relationship issues and interpersonal difficulties. Deepen your understanding of others and yourself.
Recover from traumatic experiences. From childhood experiences to more recent incidents, learn to understand your responses and how to positively move forward.
Find out who you are, what defences may be holding you back and learn self-compassion.
In today's busy and challenging world, it's normal to feel sad, stressed, or down occasionally. But if these feelings continue and disrupt your daily activities, it could be a sign of a more serious mental health issue called depression.
Depression is a common and treatable mental health problem that affects millions of people around the world. Even though it's widespread, there are still many misunderstandings and negative views about depression. I can help you understand and fully accept yourself, guiding you to find your own way with kindness towards yourself and others.
Anxiety is a widespread mental health issue that impacts people of all ages and backgrounds. It can show up in different ways, like Generalised Anxiety Disorder, specific fears, or panic attacks, each with its own set of difficulties and signs.
I will work with you at your pace to unearth the root cause, look at healthier coping mechanisms and be your guide to self-acceptance.
I offer online and face-to-face sessions from my therapy room in Wokingham, Berkshire.

We will work together to help you achieve your goals, find some peace or perhaps, find the answers to questions you have had for a long time. I am here to help you escape the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life and focus on your needs and personal growth.
