Catherine Hoversholm, NCPS

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and feelings, offering a space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what matters most. It helps people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going. It offers simple, practical exercises people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve sleep.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus. These techniques are useful for managing worry, improving sleep and coping with difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She uses a collaborative process to test ideas and adjust the methods as needed so the work fits the individual.

Online therapy gives flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let people use visual cues similar to face-to-face meetings, phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life, while still allowing steady clinical support from registered or accredited professionals.
