About Catherine

Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people work through stressful moments. She trained in person-centred counselling and brings six years of professional experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. Cathie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people cope with trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, grief and parenting strains.

Background and approach

Cathie has experience supporting people with ADHD and neurodiverse conditions who feel isolated or anxious. Her background includes work that addressed attachment and family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges linked to separation or divorce. She has also worked with people facing compassion fatigue, first responder issues and caregiving stress.

These areas inform how she listens and responds in sessions. Cathie uses person-centred ideas to make sessions collaborative and non-judgemental. She also draws on existential perspectives to help people clarify values and meaning, and systemic thinking to look at relationship patterns.

Together these approaches help shape practical conversations about change. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and offers sessions in English. People can expect a calm and straightforward style that focuses on what matters to them now.

How Cathie's approaches work online

Catherine uses person-centred counselling to start sessions by focusing on what the client wants to talk about. This approach is about being heard and understood and suits people dealing with anxiety, low mood or confidence issues.

She also draws on systemic ideas to notice patterns in relationships and family interactions. Systemic thinking can help when problems repeat between partners or within family networks, and it supports practical changes in how people communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cathie will work with each person to identify which ideas and methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps set realistic steps and keeps the focus on everyday changes the client wants to make.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone calls can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
