Catherine England has more than forty years of personal and professional experience working with people who have struggled with addiction and eating disorders. She practises as an associate of this practice, under the clinical supervision of Dr Philippe Jacquet.
She specialises in trauma, and in grief and loss, whether those are bound up with an addiction or have arrived from the rest of a life.
The work she does
Addiction and eating disorders have been the centre of her clinical work for four decades. Alongside them she works with trauma, bereavement, and the kinds of loss that are harder to name because nothing obviously died.
Her orientation is psychoanalytic. The work is concerned with what a symptom has been carrying rather than the symptom alone, which is the frame every clinician in this practice works within.
Her background
Her training runs deep and has never stopped. A diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapy. A postgraduate diploma in addiction studies from London South Bank University. A four-year pluralistic psychoanalytical psychotherapy training leading to membership of the Guild of Psychotherapists.
She has worked in inpatient settings, in day care and in private practice. That combination matters: it means she knows what residential treatment can do, and where it stops being the right answer.
Catherine lived and worked in Spain for five years. She consults regularly with other members of the profession, and is particularly drawn to the work and practice of Carl Jung.
Practical details
Her practice is now primarily online, with some consulting in London, Norfolk and internationally, so she is genuinely available wherever you are. Sessions are in English.
Her registration can be verified through the UKCP register and the Guild of Psychotherapists.
Catherine is one of our associates. Every associate is in regular clinical supervision with Dr Jacquet, and the practice takes collective responsibility for the standard of the work.
