About Catherine

Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She is a BACP counsellor who aims to help people feel heard and understood. Cathie focuses on practical steps that support change and clearer thinking in day-to-day life.

She has six years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Cathie also supports people with ADHD and neurodiverse conditions who face anxiety or isolation.

Background and approach

Her practice includes work around relationships, parenting strains, grief and career concerns. Cathie brings additional attention to attachment and adoption-related issues, abandonment and family of origin difficulties. She has experience with separation, domestic violence, caregiver stress and first responder issues.

This practical experience informs how she responds to each person at their own pace. Her approach is influenced by existential ideas that help people find meaning, and systemic thinking that looks at patterns in relationships. In sessions she aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings.

Conversations guide goals and realistic next steps. To begin, someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and books appointments according to therapist availability. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for clients in the United Kingdom or internationally.

How Cathie’s approaches fit online therapy

Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse draws on person-centred practice to place the client’s experience first. This approach centres on attentive listening and helping people name feelings and choices, which suits one-to-one conversations on video or phone. Existential ideas are used to look at meaning and values when life feels uncertain, and these conversations can work well in scheduled video sessions or longer text exchanges.

Systemic thinking helps uncover patterns in relationships and family roles. In online sessions this can mean mapping out interactions and identifying small shifts that change how people relate. Cathie treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will work with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one method.

Online work can be practical and flexible. Video calls let visual cues guide conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or slower reflection. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going when life is busy or travel is difficult, while still focusing on real steps and change.
