About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and related concerns. Cathie also supports those dealing with relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strains, career shifts and compassion fatigue.
She trained in Person-Centred Counselling, listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In sessions she focuses on listening without judgement and helping people name what is difficult. Conversations are practical and direct, looking at what feels hard now and what small steps might help.
Cathie has worked with people who are neurodiverse and with those who feel isolated because of anxiety. She has experience addressing abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care questions, and some avoidant personality patterns. She also offers support around body image, caregiver stress, dissociation and the impacts of domestic violence.
Her background includes work with couples informed by a Certificate in Couple and Family counselling. That experience helps with communication problems, commitment issues and family of origin concerns. She draws on systemic ideas to notice how relationships and roles affect everyday distress.
People can expect a straightforward, person-focused approach that combines Client-Centred, Existential and Systemic ways of working. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about relationships are typical parts of the work.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they can understand themselves better; it helps when stress, low self-esteem or anxiety make it hard to untangle feelings. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility, which can be useful for people facing big life changes or questions about purpose. Systemic Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and roles, helping with communication problems, family issues and couple difficulties.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cathie will collaborate with the client to identify which ideas and methods feel most helpful. She checks goals, preferences and practical needs and adjusts the way sessions are used accordingly.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and can reduce time spent arranging transport. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by audio when bandwidth is limited, while others find video better for non-verbal cues. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss the format that best fits schedules and day-to-day demands.
