I’ve known Cathy for 5 years now and she has worked with me on and off during that time.

She is an amazing support to me. She is extremely understanding and I feel like I could tell her anything. Cathy has given me so much advise and inspires me to believe in myself and to keep going even on my bad days.

I honestly wish there were more people like her in this world.

She has so much patience and is incredibly kind and sensitive towards others feelings these qualities make Cathy so approachable and easy to talk to.

Cathy has given me so much confidence to achieve the things I have and for that, I will be forever grateful.

I’ve known Cat for 8 months and she has made a bigger impact on me and my life in the 8 months that I’ve known her more than most people have in years.

She is an extremely bubbly and happy person, she puts everyone before herself daily and always brings joy and happiness to everyone she meets. I know personally that she makes the people around her happy even when they are going through a hard time, because of her being so happy and understanding she is the easiest person to talk to. Everything feels natural and she listens to you and helps you work your way through things, making sure that you know that you’re not alone whilst going through your problems.

My friends go to see her and they could go in in tears and so unbelievably upset but as soon as the exit that room their mood has completely flipped, they’re smiling and laughing and its all because of Cat.

I know that Cat has helped me in ways that no one else has, she understands me and my problems better than anyone I know. I’ve had countless counselors who have done nothing for me, none of them have helped me and none have ever got through the wall that I’ve built. After just a few sessions with Cat, I found myself telling her things that I hadn’t spoken about in years.

If Cat weren’t to return back to working at my school, it would definitely cause chaos, the girls at my school need Cat, I need Cat. She needs to be back at school working.

I’ve had the amazing opportunity to actively work alongside Cat as a very valued volunteer and have had the experience of her fondness and sheer dedication to The Henry Allen Trust and of bettering our local
community life in many ways.

I feel confident in saying that she is capable of handling any situation with thoughtfulness and great understanding, compassion and empathy.

Cat works closely with our bereaved children, children ongoing treatment of Childhood Cancers and their parents with the utmost well-being standards to an exceptional degree. The relationships Cat has built with our families is truly remarkable.
