About Catherine
Catherine "Cathy" Waterhouse helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She offers a warm, friendly presence and listens carefully to what is troubling each person. Cathy aims to create a calm space where clients can speak at their own pace and take the lead in sessions.
She combines counselling skills with solution-focused coaching and practical strategies. That mix is used to help people get unstuck and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Cathy uses tools to build confidence and improve how people manage daily challenges. Cathy describes her approach as guided by the client. She pays attention to what matters most to the person in front of her and adapts sessions to those priorities.
Many people find this flexible way of working keeps therapy relevant to their life right now. Her background includes work as a life coach alongside counselling practice. Those coaching skills are often offered to people who want active steps and tools to move forward after talking through issues.
This practical strand can suit people dealing with career strain, relationship problems or a midlife reassessment. People come for help with trauma and abuse, family and relationship strains, workplace issues and compassion fatigue. Cathy also supports those wrestling with control issues, isolation or feelings of guilt and shame.
She works in English and operates from the United Kingdom, offering sessions online and by phone. Her professional registration is with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Cathy aims to walk alongside people as they find clearer direction and greater self-acceptance.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cathy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process means approaches can be adapted as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to use their camera. These options offer flexibility so counselling can fit into busy lives and different routines.
