About Catherine

Catherine "Cathy" Waterhouse helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with depression, major life changes and workplace or relationship strain. Cathy presents a calm, warm approach that lets people set the pace in sessions.

Cathy listens with what she calls a counsellor's ear and gives clear, down-to-earth feedback. She blends gentle listening with practical coaching ideas to help people feel less stuck. Many clients use her sessions to build confidence and find small steps forward.

Background and approach

Her background includes four years working in therapeutic settings alongside more than a decade in life coaching. She combines client-centred listening with solution-focused techniques to identify useful tools for daily life. That mix is aimed at helping with issues such as communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and isolation.

Cathy uses approaches that also apply to trauma, domestic violence recovery and compassion fatigue. She works collaboratively, checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the style to suit each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-aware, not rushed.

People who come to Cathy often want practical strategies as well as a space to be heard. She offers a supportive atmosphere and clear options for moving forward. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are held in English.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-driven action. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions because it encourages practical experiments and small behaviour changes. Client-Centred Therapy centres on being listened to without judgement and on building trust. This approach is helpful when someone needs space to talk through feelings and gain clarity about what matters to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cathy will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. That collaborative process means methods can be mixed and adjusted over time to match what is most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, quick problem-solving or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy into busy routines and different lifestyles.
