About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse offers a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of therapy. She combines warmth with clear practical support to help people talking through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Cathie uses straightforward language and simple steps so parents and adults can understand what to expect from sessions.
She trained in Person-Centred Counselling and holds the BACP credential. Cathie has six years of professional experience and has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger and major life changes.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues connected to ADHD and neurodiversity, helping people manage anxiety and social isolation. Cathie draws on systemic ideas to look at how relationships and family patterns influence current struggles. She has a Certificate in Couple and Family counselling and brings that perspective when communication or relationship patterns are part of the concern.
Her work also covers areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment questions, and family of origin issues. Practical coping strategies are blended with open listening in sessions. Cathie pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and helps people find small, manageable steps forward.
She also supports those facing career stress, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue and first responder related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Therapy is delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Catherine lists

Online support
Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and family patterns affect current problems. This approach helps when communication problems, commitment issues or family of origin concerns shape someone’s experience. It can highlight small changes in interaction that reduce tension and improve connection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your aims and preferences and together you will decide whether person-centred work, systemic ideas or a mix feels most helpful. Treatment plans can change as needs evolve, and Cathie aims to adapt her style to what works best for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messages suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping therapy consistent.
