About Catherine
Catherine "Cathie" Woolhouse is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD and anger. She also supports those managing relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains and career issues.
Cathie trained in person-centred counselling, which shapes how she meets people in the room. She focuses on listening and helping clients make sense of their feelings. Sessions are practical and straightforward, with time to talk through what is happening and what a client wants to change.
She has experience with neurodiversity and supports people coping with anxiety and isolation linked to autism and Asperger syndrome. Cathie also has a Certificate in Couple and Family counselling and uses that background when discussing relationship patterns and communication problems with individuals.
People come with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, body image, dissociation and the effects of domestic violence. Cathie works with issues such as caregiver stress, first responder challenges and compassion fatigue, helping clients notice patterns that increase tension and anger.
Her approach is down-to-earth. Conversations aim to identify small, workable steps to reduce reactive responses and manage stress. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and book a first session to see how the work fits their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the client find their own direction. This approach supports people working through anger by naming emotions and noticing triggers.Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns keep problems going. It helps when anger is tied to communication problems, family of origin issues or recurring relationship conflicts. Existential Therapy pays attention to meaning, choice and the impact of life changes, useful when anger is connected to loss, identity or big transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss what feels most useful in early sessions and adjust the focus as needs become clearer. This means work can shift between listening, exploring relationship patterns or considering personal values and choices.

Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to explore anger management, relationship patterns and coping strategies while helping people find practical steps that fit their daily life.
