About Catherine
Counsellor Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse is a BACP member with six years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem and depression. Cathie also supports those managing ADHD and other neurodiverse conditions.
She trained in person-centred counselling, which shapes how she works in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Cathie aims to listen and reflect so clients can make sense of their feelings and choices.
Her practice also draws on existential ideas. That means looking at how values, meaning and life choices affect day-to-day struggles. This can help when people face major life changes, career questions, grief or feelings of emptiness.
Systemic thinking informs Cathie’s work with relationship and family matters. She pays attention to patterns of communication and interaction that keep problems going. Her approach is practical and looks at how small changes can shift those patterns.
She has experience supporting people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and difficulties such as dissociation or domestic violence. Cathie has also worked with those facing caregiver stress, first responder issues and compassion fatigue.
To start, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. It helps people clarify their own thoughts and feelings and decide what matters to them. Existential Therapy looks at life choices, values and meaning. It can be helpful for people facing big changes, grief or questions about purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cathie will discuss the options with the client and decide together which elements suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as sessions continue.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a weekday or work break, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. Some formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or phone-only work if that better fits their routine.
