About Catherine
Catherine Hoversholm is a counsellor with 15 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or depression. Catherine aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, non-judgemental support and practical ways to move forward.
She creates a relaxed space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling without fear. Conversations focus on what matters now - coping with loss, life changes, motivation, sleep and everyday pressures.
Background and approach
Catherine listens closely to each person and works alongside them to find helpful ways of responding to problems. Catherine draws on a mix of well-known approaches. She uses client-centred techniques to follow the client’s lead and build trust.
Cognitive behavioural strategies are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. Mindfulness methods help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Sessions are practical and down to earth.
Catherine supports people to set small, realistic goals and to build new routines that suit their lives. She pays attention to how relationships, work and caring responsibilities affect mood and energy. Her registration is NCPS, which is shown as NCPS.
Conversations are held in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Catherine encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and to begin with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. CBT often involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical changes to behaviour and routines to improve mood and sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss options with the client and decide together what to try first, based on the person’s goals and day-to-day life. This collaborative process means methods can be adapted if something does not fit.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for conversations that benefit from seeing facial expressions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
