About Catherine
Catherine Hoversholm is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and life changes. Her approach is steady and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people make practical steps toward feeling better.
She creates an open atmosphere in sessions where clients can speak honestly without fear of judgement. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Catherine listens carefully and helps people name what is happening and decide what to try next. Her work draws on several well known approaches to suit different needs. She uses client-centred ways to follow each person’s lead, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and mindfulness to build awareness and calm.
She also brings in psychodynamic and solution-focused perspectives when they fit the situation. Catherine has helped people with relationships, parenting strain, sleep problems, career stress, anger and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, bereavement, abandonment issues and major life transitions.
Sessions aim to be practical and manageable so change can happen between meetings as well as during them. Taking the first step can feel hard. Catherine works at a steady pace and offers straightforward guidance to help clients reach clearer decisions and more reliable coping strategies.
Approaches that suit online work
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client, offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own answers. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings without being steered in one direction.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it gives specific tools to practise between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple paying-attention skills to reduce rumination and build calm. Short breathing and attention exercises are used in session and at home to help with stress and overwhelming thoughts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then suggest a plan. That plan can change as needs shift so the client stays involved in choosing next steps.
Online sessions via video calls let people use face-to-face interaction without travelling, while phone sessions can be easier when video isn't needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, written reflections and flexible contact for days when a shorter touchpoint helps. These options give practical flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and daily life.
