About Catherine

Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and anger. She also supports people navigating relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strains and career changes.

Cathie trained in person-centred counselling, and she uses that practical outlook to help people talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients find clearer choices. She brings direct, down-to-earth conversation rather than jargon or complicated techniques.

She also draws on existential ideas to look at values, meaning and the decisions that shape daily life. That can be useful when someone is reassessing priorities after loss, separation or big life changes. Systemic thinking informs how she understands relationship patterns and family dynamics when those are part of the issue.

Cathie has experience with neurodiversity and works with people who describe anxiety and isolation alongside autism or Asperger syndrome. She also uses a Certificate in Couple and Family counselling to inform work with couples and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to help clients identify practical steps they can try between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English. Cathie accepts international clients and works within a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking flow.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what clients say. Online sessions use that same emphasis to help people feel heard, work through emotions and consider next steps. Existential Therapy looks at values, responsibility and meaning in life; in remote work this can help people re-evaluate priorities after loss or big changes. Systemic Therapy examines relationship patterns and communication, which is useful when anger arises in families or partnerships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which ideas to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust focus over time if something isn’t helpful.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time spent travelling. It also lets people join from different locations, which can be useful for those arranging sessions around work or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and discussion to suit each person's circumstances.
