About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse offers a person-centred way of working that focuses on the individual's experience. She draws on six years of clinical practice and a Bachelor degree in Person-Centred Counselling to guide conversations about difficult feelings. Cathie is based in the United Kingdom and provides sessions in English.
Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to give space for thoughts and feelings without judgement. Cathie listens closely and helps people notice options they might not have seen before.
Background and approach
She emphasises respect and empathy in every meeting. Cathie has worked with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She has practical experience supporting those affected by trauma and abuse, and those trying to rebuild confidence and self-esteem.
She also supports people living with neurodiverse conditions who struggle with isolation or anxiety. She brings additional focus to relationship concerns, parenting and family issues through training in couple and family counselling. Other areas she commonly helps with include grief, career shifts, anger, and coping with life changes.
She also addresses complex topics such as attachment, adoption and foster care, and first responder stress. Cathie uses a mix of person-centred, existential and systemic ideas in her work. That mix shapes conversations rather than following a rigid formula.
She aims to help each person find clearer thinking, more manageable steps and a steadier sense of direction.

Approaches Catherine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cathie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to your concerns and goals and then try different ways of working to find what fits. Together you will check in on progress and adjust the focus or methods if needed, so the work stays relevant to your life.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face contact when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or who need to fit counselling into a busy day. These options can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
