About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse is a counsellor with a BACP membership and six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and related concerns. Cathie also supports those navigating neurodiversity and the social isolation that can follow.
Cathie uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and reflecting what someone brings into the room. She draws on existential ideas to help people question values, meaning and life choices. She also uses systemic thinking to consider how relationships and family patterns affect current problems.
In sessions she aims to make space for honest conversation about difficult feelings. She offers practical ways to notice unhelpful patterns and to try different responses. This can include looking at how relationships, career pressures or transitions around leaving home influence mental health.
Her experience includes supporting people with adoption and foster care backgrounds, attachment concerns and family of origin issues. She has worked with those affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation, and first responder stress.
Cathie accepts international clients and runs sessions from the UK. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How Cathie’s approaches translate to online work
Candidate-centred work means the therapist listens and reflects what the client brings. Online sessions can be used to talk through immediate worries, rehearse difficult conversations, or check how new responses feel in everyday life. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.Existential ideas invite questions about values, direction and meaning. In an online session this might look like focused conversation about choices after leaving education, starting a job, or changing relationships. It can help people who feel stuck or unsure about next steps.
Systemic thinking looks at how relationships and family patterns shape current problems. Online meetings can involve mapping those patterns, discussing communication habits, and planning small changes to test between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cathie will talk with each person about what feels useful and adapt the focus as goals evolve. That collaborative process helps clarify whether more listening, exploring values, or mapping relationships will be most helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into study or work schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits often make regular sessions simpler to maintain.
