About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse works from a person-centred stance and brings Systemic thinking into her sessions. She describes a calm, non-judgemental way of working that helps people talk through anxiety, stress and low mood. Cathie uses straightforward conversation to help clients name what feels hard and decide on practical next steps.
She trained in Person-Centred Counselling and holds a BACP credential, and has six years of professional experience. That background informs a steady, listening-focused style that keeps the client's priorities central.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on what the person wants to change and how to get there. Cathie has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain and parenting pressures. She also works with adults who identify as neurodiverse and helps them manage anxiety, isolation and daily routines.
Her list of concerns includes ADHD, self-esteem, depression and compassion fatigue. She applies Systemic ideas when useful, looking at how relationships and family patterns affect a person's feelings and choices. She also draws on Existential and Client-Centred approaches to help clients explore meaning, values and everyday coping.
The intent is practical: clearer thinking and more workable choices. Cathie offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English. She invites people to take a first step and talks them through the process of matching and arranging sessions.

Online support
How Cathie's approaches translate to online therapy
Cathie draws on Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships and interaction patterns shape feelings and choices. In online sessions she may invite discussion about family roles, communication cycles and how support networks influence day-to-day life.She also uses a Client-Centred approach which places the person's experience at the heart of each session. This means the counsellor listens carefully, follows the client's concerns and lets the conversation set the pace. Existential ideas may be used to explore meaning, values and life choices when people feel stuck or uncertain.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Cathie works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adapt the way they work as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who need flexibility around work and caring commitments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when circumstances change.
