Catherine "Cathy" Waterhouse
A practical, listening-led counsellor and coach
About Catherine
Catherine "Cathy" Waterhouse helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, workplace issues and compassion fatigue. Cathy uses a warm, friendly manner so people can set the pace and lead the sessions.
Cathy listens first and then works with clients to find practical steps forward. She blends client-centred listening with solution-focused coaching techniques to help people identify small, useful changes.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to make progress feel achievable rather than overwhelming. With four years practising as a counsellor and a background in life coaching, Cathy often combines brief coaching strategies with longer therapeutic work. That mix suits people who want both a space to talk and hands-on tools to try between meetings.
She has particular experience helping with low self-worth and confidence issues. Sessions are guided by the client's goals and preferences. Cathy offers a non-judgemental space and helps clients choose techniques that fit their situation.
Practicalities such as communication patterns, financial worries, midlife questions and coping after separation are common focuses in her work. People can expect clear conversations about achievable next steps. Cathy explains options in plain language and helps clients pick what feels useful.
Her goal is to support steady movement forward, one step at a time.

How Cathy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions by encouraging small committed steps. Client-Centred Therapy centres on warm, attentive listening and on the client's own pace and choices; it provides space to talk through feelings and build self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Cathy will talk through goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when they prefer it. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when someone does not want to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins, short coaching prompts or if someone needs a less formal option between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep continuity across life changes.
