Cathy Sansom is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, counselling supervisor and EMCC-accredited practitioner level coach. She is currently completing her doctorate (DPsych) in psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute in London.

Cathy has also worked in financial services for over thirty years and, as a working mother, has experienced the return to work after maternity leave three times.

Her doctorate topic relates to mothers returning after maternity leave and their use of Keeping in Touch Days in their return. From her research, she has created this module to help other counsellors and psychotherapists working with returning mothers, including sharing her review of the topic and her own research results, leading to specific therapeutic interventions that can help clients in that situation.
