About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse uses a client-centred approach to help people manage anxiety and stress. She is a BACP counsellor with six years of hands-on experience. Cathie aims to make the room feel calm and non-judgemental so people can say what matters to them.
She focuses on anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem and ADHD-related concerns. Cathie also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures and career stress. Her work includes attention to abandonment, attachment and the challenges of adoption and foster care.
Background and approach
Cathie combines Client-Centred Therapy with systemic ideas. That means she listens closely to each person and looks at how relationships and wider systems affect feelings and behaviour. She uses Existential therapy to help people find meaning when life feels confusing or stuck.
Her experience includes supporting people with neurodiversity who have faced isolation and anxiety. She has undertaken additional training in couple and family counselling and uses that knowledge when helpful for individual clients. Cathie encourages practical steps alongside reflective conversations.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Cathie helps people identify small, manageable changes and practices that reduce daily pressure. She welcomes clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and provides therapy in English.
How her approaches work online and in session
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard, build self-trust and explore what they want to change. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and how to live with uncertainty, which can help when anxiety or life changes feel overwhelming.Systemic Therapy pays attention to relationships and wider patterns that influence behaviour. It can be useful when issues involve family dynamics, communication problems or repeated cycles that cause stress. Together these approaches let Cathie tailor conversations to a person's needs and situation.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Cathie will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the client helps shape the focus and pace of sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caring commitments and travel.
