Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse
Helpful person-centred counsellor for life changes
About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse offers a warm, person-centred approach to counselling. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood or struggling with trauma. Cathie uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to make it easier to talk about painful experiences and difficult feelings.
She trained with a Bachelor degree in Person-Centred Counselling and has six years of professional experience. That background shapes how she listens and responds - putting the person and their goals at the centre of each session.
Background and approach
Cathie also draws on systemic and existential ideas when they fit the situation. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including self esteem, ADHD, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, grief and compassion fatigue. She has experience supporting people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and neurodiverse conditions such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.
People bring practical worries as well, such as career stress, communication problems, control issues and the challenges of separation or divorce. Cathie works to help clients build clearer thinking and coping strategies so daily life feels more manageable. Sessions are offered in English and are available to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Cathie’s approaches work online
Cathie uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person’s own experience and goals. Sessions tend to be guided by what the client finds most important, with the counsellor offering careful listening and reflective feedback to help people make sense of their feelings.She also draws on systemic ideas to look at how relationships and wider family patterns affect current difficulties. This can help when communication problems, commitment issues or family of origin matters play a part in someone’s distress. Existential ideas are used to explore life meaning and choices, which can be useful for clients facing big changes, career crossroads or feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work and Cathie treats that as a team effort. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use and how to adapt them for online sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow conversation much like an in-person session, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy life.
