Catriona Rogers is a UK trained counselling psychologist, an executive coach (US trained), and a meditation facilitator. She brings to her work many years of experience, wisdom and compassion. She works in depth with clients on issues of self, relationships and work; empowering them to re-connect with their core strengths and their own deepest truth to ‘re-author’ their life story.

“My philosophy is grounded in Appreciative Inquiry (AI), a constructive, positive approach to change. At the heart of my work is the compassion I have for clients and the desire to see them free and joyful.”

In her counselling practice, Catriona focuses on body, mind and spirit. She draws on different approaches to address client issues which include depression, anxiety, grief, inner child wounding, trauma, post traumatic stress, panic attacks, assertiveness management, stress, relationship dynamics, life transitions and the emergence of Self.

Catriona has practiced counselling in Hong Kong for over 20 years. Before that she worked in corporates in Europe, USA, Asia and HK and this gave her insight into the stresses and challenges, which impact clients’ personal and professional lives in Hong Kong’s high performance workplace.

She is one of IMI’s Mindfulness Meditation facilitators and sees meditation as important for personal growth, health and spiritual evolution. She believes that meditation practice enables us to discover a level of peace that remains unbroken no matter what external circumstances or internal mental torments we face.

“We don’t sit in meditation to become good meditators. We sit in meditation so that we’ll be more awake in our lives.” Pema Chödrön

Catriona has been meditating in the yogic tradition for 27 years and more recently in Mindfulness. She has studied with masters from a variety of traditions and taken trainings in Mindfulness Based Stress Relief (MBSR) Cognitive Emotional Balancing (CEB),and the corporate focused Mindfulness Potential Project and Healing Visualisation and Contemplation. She has a daily practice and regularly goes on retreats.

Catriona combines her counselling and meditation practices at IMI with many years of practice in both. She believes that true healing of psychological issues happens when we hold an expanded, “cartography of the psyche” – something that is accessible through meditation.

She has lived in Hong Kong for 43 years and has family here.

Testimonials

“Catriona has been my counsellor for nearly 10 years. I have worked with several psychologists in my life and Catriona definitely stands out in the crowd. I always worked on my “inner game” issues, whether it be confidence, interpersonal conflict, or career decisions. What I appreciate most about her is her highly supportive approach, the fact that she respects my ‘process’ and that she “meets me where I am”. Every session is always impactful and insightful and energizing. Catriona is very intuitive, she listens well and she is able to help me articulate my thoughts and ideas in a way that helps me process them and get to solutions that work for me. Her empathetic and supportive style makes it pleasant and motivational to work with Catriona. Her ability to get to the “real issues” has helped me to create the changes I needed to keep growing and to be personally and professionally successful. I always leave my sessions with Catriona energised and reinvigorated.”
