About Catherine

Catherine Hoversholm is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. Catherine offers calm, steady support for people trying to manage life changes, boost self‑esteem or find motivation again.

She creates an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with practical steps and honest listening. Catherine's approach is collaborative - she works alongside clients to find what helps in daily life.

Her background includes many years working with common emotional and practical struggles. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to individual needs, whether the issue is sleep, parenting strain, career worries, or compassion fatigue. She brings patience and a straightforward style to each meeting.

Catherine uses tried approaches such as client‑centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She also draws on psychodynamic and solution‑focused ideas when they suit the client's goals. Her practice pays attention to both immediate coping strategies and longer term patterns.

People often begin therapy feeling unsure. Catherine supports them step by step, helping to set realistic goals and notice small changes. She explains options clearly and reviews progress as therapy continues.

How Catherine's Approaches Fit Online Work

Client‑centred therapy focuses on the client's own priorities and experience. It means the therapist listens carefully and follows the person's lead, helping them make choices that feel right. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss options and try methods that match the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process with regular check‑ins about what is or isn't helping.

The original profile did not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. That said, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also suit people who prefer working from a familiar setting or want to try different ways of meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness practices and client‑centred conversations to remote sessions, while reviewing progress and adjusting plans as therapy continues.
