About Catherine

Catherine "Cathy" Waterhouse blends counselling sensitivity with practical coaching techniques to help people move forward from where they feel stuck. She listens closely to understand current struggles and blockages, then combines that careful attention with solution-focused strategies to identify steps, tools, and approaches that clients can use between sessions. Her work often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, career concerns, and life changes.

Her style is warm and friendly and she encourages clients to set the pace and take the lead in sessions. Cathy offers a non-judgemental space to explore difficult feelings while guiding the therapeutic process toward meaningful progress. Many clients choose to introduce coaching techniques as their counselling evolves, using brief solution-focused tools to boost confidence, improve self-worth, and develop clear, achievable goals.

Alongside four years of therapeutic experience, Cathy brings over 10 years of experience as a life coach, which she uses to support personal development and practical change. She is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works collaboratively with each person to find the right blend of support for their needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes that lead to measurable progress - it helps when clients want to move past obstacles, build confidence, and set clear goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own pace and priorities - it is useful for exploring emotions, improving self-esteem, and restoring a sense of agency. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends mindful awareness with values-based action - it helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful life directions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Cathy works collaboratively with each person to discover what fits best. She will discuss options, adapt methods as needed, and combine counselling and coaching tools so therapy aligns with a client’s needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy with Cathy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions, fit support around work and family life, and access consistent care without long travel times.
