About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse uses a client-centred approach to make therapy straightforward and personal. She places the person's experience at the centre of sessions and listens without judgement. Cathie explains things plainly and focuses on what matters to each individual. She has a warm, direct style that helps people begin to make sense of painful or confusing feelings.
She trained in person-centred counselling and has six years of professional experience. That background informs how she works with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Cathie also supports people who struggle with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She has considerable experience with neurodiverse clients and the isolation and anxiety that can follow diagnosis.
Cathie draws on existential ideas to help people look at meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels overwhelming. She also uses systemic thinking to consider how relationships and family patterns shape current struggles. These approaches are used together to fit the person in front of her rather than a fixed formula.
She has a Certificate in Couple and Family Counselling which informs her work with partners and relationship concerns. Cathie also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment and caregiver stress, as well as practical problems like communication and commitment difficulties.
Based in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to Cathie’s availability.
How Cathie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and responding with empathy and respect. In sessions the therapist reflects what you say, helps you clarify feelings, and supports your own pace of change. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and challenges with self-worth.Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning and responsibility. It can help when people feel stuck, uncertain about direction, or grieving the loss of a role or relationship. Systemic ideas consider how family and relationship patterns affect current struggles and can shine light on repeated difficulties in connection.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Cathie will listen to your situation and discuss which ideas feel most helpful. Together you can decide whether to emphasise person-centred listening, explore meaning with existential questions, or map relationship patterns with systemic thinking.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. It can also help maintain continuity if you move location or are supporting someone abroad.
