About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse draws on six years of counselling experience and a Bachelors Degree in Person-Centred Counselling to support people through difficult times. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Cathie speaks English and works from the United Kingdom, and she is registered with the BACP.
Cathie uses client-centred ways of working, which means conversations focus on the client's experience and pace.
Background and approach
She also brings ideas from existential and systemic approaches to help people think about meaning, relationships, and patterns that affect daily life. This mix helps when worries feel tangled up with family, work, or identity. Common concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, career stress and compassion fatigue. Cathie works with people who are neurodiverse and with issues linked to adoption, attachment and family of origin. She has additional experience around relationship difficulties, commitment issues, communication problems and separation.
First responder issues, domestic violence, and body image are also within her focus. Cathie draws on her Certificate in Couple and Family counselling when relationship matters come up. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical.
Cathie helps clients notice patterns, try small changes and build coping strategies that fit day-to-day life. She encourages people to take the first step and offers steady support through the process.

How Catherine works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cathie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and will adapt her way of working as the relationship develops. This is a collaborative process where choices about focus and methods are made together.
Check the session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are preferable. Registered or accredited professionals offer online therapy that aims to fit around everyday life while keeping the therapeutic work clear and focused.
