About Catherine

Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse helps people work on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns using person-centred, existential and systemic ideas. She practises in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of professional experience.

Cathie trained for a Bachelor’s degree in Person-Centred Counselling in the UK. She practices in a way that focuses on the person’s own priorities and pace. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting and helping someone find their own solutions rather than imposing a fixed plan.

She also draws on existential therapy to look at meaning, values and how life changes are affecting daily choices. This can help when people are coping with big life transitions or questioning what matters to them now.

Systemic ideas inform her work around relationships and family dynamics. That includes helping people talk through communication problems, commitment issues, separation and other relational patterns that affect wellbeing.

Cathie has experience supporting people with neurodivergent needs, including autism and Asperger syndrome, and works with issues around adoption, attachment and care-related stress. She has worked with those affected by domestic violence, abandonment, grief and first responder issues.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions, using listening and reflection to help someone clarify their own goals and responses. It is useful for stress, low self-esteem and managing everyday difficulties.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and choices. It helps when people face life changes, question their direction or need to make sense of difficult experiences.

Systemic Therapy focuses on relationships and interaction patterns within families or couples. It can support work on communication problems, commitment issues and separation-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree what to try first, adapting the focus as needs and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process and aims to match method to the person’s priorities.

Practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the option to join from different locations. If you need shorter check-ins, not being on camera, or fewer interruptions, these can usually be arranged with the counsellor. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking to make sure they suit your routine.
