Our Therapists
We are a collective of HCPC-registered Art, Music and Dramatherapists. Each brings a distinct approach and creative practice; together we maintain a supportive, reflective environment. At CATS, we provide the holding environment and professional standards that support therapists’ work.
Because we are a small and new organisation, and our therapists are either newly qualified or new to private practice, there may be times when the support we can offer isn’t the right fit for what you need. If that happens, we’ll be transparent and help you find care that holds you well, rather than keeping you in a space that doesn’t meet you fully.
Once you choose to continue with a therapist, they hold direct responsibility for your care, while we ensure safe practice, supervision, and professional oversight. At the same time, we’re committed to growing our collective so that, over time, we can offer a wider range of experience and a stronger support structure around therapists, allowing more people to find the right therapeutic home with us.

A Note on Diversity in our Team
While our therapists bring a range of cultural perspectives, we are aware that at this stage our collective is predominantly white.
We recognise that shared lived experience can matter often in therapy.
If working with a Black, African or Asian therapist is important for what you want your therapeutic journey to be, you can find further resources through Black Minds Matter UK and BAATN which offers a trusted directory of accredited practitioners.
