About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse offers a warm, person-centred approach to counselling. She draws on her Bachelors Degree in Person-Centred Counselling and six years of professional experience to create a calm space where people can talk openly. Cathie aims to make conversations straightforward and practical for those feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Cathie also works with trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship difficulties and grief. Her practice includes support for people navigating adoption and foster care related issues and attachment concerns.
Cathie has experience supporting people with neurodiversity and the specific challenges that can bring, such as isolation and heightened anxiety. She also draws on systemic ideas when relationships and family patterns are part of the picture. This means she pays attention to how family roles and communication affect current problems.
Her style is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy - listening without judgement and following the person’s pace. Existential ideas help when people want to think about meaning, choice and next steps. Sessions aim to help people find clearer ways to manage feelings, relationships and change.
Practical steps are part of the work. Cathie encourages simple experiments between sessions and checks in on what is or isn’t helping. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
How Cathie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Counselling rooted in Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people feel heard. In practice this means the therapist follows your pace, reflects back what you say and supports you in finding your own solutions. Existential Therapy brings questions about meaning, choice and responsibility into the conversation, which can help when big life changes are the issue. Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and patterns, helping people spot how family roles and communication affect current difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Cathie works collaboratively to decide which ideas to use based on your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust what isn’t helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into everyday life easier, for example by reducing travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also help people take part from a different location when that suits their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and conversations for remote sessions so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
