About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse is a counsellor who focuses on person-centred care and practical support. She holds a Bachelor degree in Person-Centred Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Cathie presents a calm, straightforward approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and trauma.
She has six years of professional experience and uses that background to help clients sort through difficult moments. Sessions are aimed at making feelings easier to name and everyday choices clearer.
How Catherine works
Cathie listens without judgement and works at the clients pace. Her practice also supports people managing neurodiverse conditions, including the isolation and anxiety these can bring. Additional focus areas include relationship challenges, parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue and questions about identity and self-worth.
She draws on her certificate in couple and family counselling to inform conversations about relationship patterns and communication. Cathie combines client-centred, existential and systemic ideas to make therapy practical and personal. Conversations look at current struggles, their meaning, and the ways people connect with others.
The aim is to help clients find clearer choices and small steps that make a difference. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged across national borders. Cathie supports people through change with empathy and simple, direct work that fits everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cathie uses client-centred and systemic approaches in online work and brings existential ideas when people ask about meaning and identity. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and helping people name their feelings so they can make clearer choices; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Systemic ideas look at how relationships and patterns shape difficulties and can help with communication problems, family of origin issues and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cathie will discuss different ways of working and collaboratively decide what fits a persons needs, goals and preferences. That conversation helps set practical steps and shapes the focus of ongoing sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work visually and keep richer interaction, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
