About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse offers a Person-Centred approach to counselling and draws on six years of practical experience. She is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Cathie aims to make sessions calm and straightforward so people can speak freely and be heard.
Cathie helps with stress, anxiety and depression. She supports people affected by trauma and abuse and those managing low self-esteem or motivation. She also works with neurodiverse people who face anxiety and isolation and helps partners who want to improve their relationship with skills from a Certificate in Couple and Family counselling.
Her work focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting space to talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are shaped around what the person brings, not a fixed checklist. She listens and reflects back so people can make sense of their thoughts and find clearer next steps.
Cathie also supports parents coping with the strain of caregiving and people facing grief, life changes or career stress. Additional concerns she addresses include attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, body image, and compassion fatigue. First responder issues and communication problems are within her experience too.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental tone and a practical focus on what helps day to day. Therapy aims to increase coping, reduce unhelpful patterns and find ways to move forward one step at a time.
How Cathie's approaches work in online therapy
Cathie practises Person-Centred counselling which prioritises a listening, non-judgemental stance to help people feel understood and find their own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and issues around self-esteem because it focuses on the person's experience rather than fixed techniques.She also draws on Existential Therapy to help people consider meaning, choice and life direction, and Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships and family patterns affect current difficulties. Existential ideas can help when coping with life changes, while systemic thinking is helpful for relationship and parenting concerns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathie will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adapt sessions as needs evolve. Clients are invited to talk about what they hope to get from counselling and to shape the way they work together.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not practical. It can also help maintain continuity if someone is travelling or living abroad, while the therapeutic focus remains on practical steps to improve wellbeing and work-life balance.
