Catherine Bennett is a Psychologist Counsellor currently working in Luxembourg in private practice (in English). She is originally from the United Kingdom, but has lived and worked in Luxembourg for many years. Having followed a career in banking in the City (London), she took a break to have a family. It was during this time that she trained in Psychology, specialising in Child Development, Play Therapy and Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy.
Having counselled pregnant mothers, post-natally depressed mothers and mothers who had associated problems with their newborns, Catherine furthered her counselling skills with Person-Centred Counselling (Carl Rogers) and latterly Psychodynamic Counselling. Psychodynamic Counselling is more analytical in its approach and refers back to the ideas of Freud, Jung, Winnicott and influential work by Klein.
Whilst Catherine follows a multi-disciplinary approach, some clients have a preference for working with one approach, or some symptoms respond better with another. Before leaving England, Catherine worked both within Primary Care in a Doctor's surgery and in Private Practice. |
There are times when counselling can really help. Marital discord can place stress on the whole family and affect work. Eating disorders including anorexia which mask deeper rooted problems. Bereavement and illness, coping with actual loss or the loss of what you could once do. Problems associated with being bullied or abused either within the home, at school or in the workplace. Spousal violence, carrying the strain of the secret and the anger of being a victim. Unhappy childhood with problems such as abuse/troubled parents or siblings which has led to low self-esteem. These are just a snapshot of problems that can be dealt with in a caring and professional environment. Depression is often the biggest problem that clients' face, either because they are prone to depression or because of life events.
