Catherine Premji, RP (Qualifying)

How I can help

I am committed to assisting couples as they navigate the complexities of their relationships, especially during the transformative perinatal period. My personal experience as a partner and mother allows me to relate to your parenting challenges and relationship struggles in an authentic way. I understand the loneliness and exhaustion that new parents encounter and the toll this has on our relationships.

I have personally encountered fertility challenges, as well as complicated pregnancies and I empathize with how difficult these experiences feel. In our sessions together you can expect to feel heard in a judgement free space. You will learn to identify and express your emotional needs and fears with the goal of reconnecting with yourself and your partner.

My approach

My approach is rooted in the belief that strong emotional connections are the foundation of healthy relationships. I believe in bringing my authentic self to our therapeutic space so you may feel supported and comfortable to be yourself.

I strive to create a safe and supportive environment using an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach guided by attachment theory to help partners understand their emotional responses, explore their negative cycles of interaction, and improve communication to deepen connection as the antidote to relational distress.

Whether you are a couple or an individual seeking support, I am here to listen to you and help you discover emotional intimacy and relational fulfillment.

In addition to being a mother and wife, I am an avid reader, board game enthusiast, and runner. I love travelling, learning about other cuisines and cultures, trying new crafts, and generally being outdoors.
