About Catherine

Catherine "Cathy" Waterhouse helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and trauma. She works with practical problems such as relationship strain, workplace issues, money worries and coping with life changes. Cathy takes a calm, warm approach that lets each person set the pace in sessions.

Cathy listens closely and uses conversational counselling skills to understand what is getting in the way. She combines that listening with solution-focused coaching ideas to help people identify small, useful steps.

Background and approach

This blend is aimed at getting someone unstuck and finding ways to move forward. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on what matters. Cathy also draws on trauma-focused methods when people bring trauma and abuse into sessions, tailoring her approach to each person.

Client-Centred Therapy shapes the way she meets people with respect and without judgement. Cathy has four years of counselling experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.

Her style is straightforward and encouraging. Sessions can include short coaching tasks, problem-solving conversations and emotional processing depending on what someone wants. Cathy aims to work collaboratively so clients can build confidence and find practical ways forward.

How Cathy blends trauma-aware therapy and practical coaching online

Cathy combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that are easy to understand. Trauma-focused work looks at how past hurt affects daily life and helps people process painful memories and reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while connecting with what matters most in their life.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cathy will talk through options and decide with each person which methods suit their goals and preferences.

Online sessions make that collaborative process more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and fuller interaction. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching tasks or people who find written conversations easier. These options let people fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still accessing therapeutic support.
