About Catherine

Catherine Hoversholm is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and anger. She offers a calm space to talk through low mood, self-esteem concerns and life changes. Catherine aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about the first step.

She uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches tailored to each person. That may include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, building simple coping strategies, and practising present-moment awareness. Sessions also include time to reflect on past experiences that influence current feelings and choices.

Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere where worries are listened to and paced appropriately. Catherine encourages small, achievable goals between sessions to help people test new ways of coping. She explains ideas plainly and checks in about what is and is not helpful.

Catherine holds NCPS, a credential used in the United Kingdom, and brings 15 years of professional experience to her practice. Her work includes supporting people through parenting strains, relationship difficulties, career stresses and chronic illness challenges. She also helps people affected by abandonment, attachment and communication problems.

Her background blends client-centred conversation with practical tools from cognitive and solution-focused work. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she helps people understand patterns and try different responses in daily life.

Approaches you may notice in online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps by naming unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behaviour experiments to test new ideas. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or motivation.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. This approach aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where someone can make sense of feelings and choices at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods that suit their situation. Adjustments are made as needed so sessions remain practical and manageable.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for quick check-ins when a shorter session helps. Some approaches work well over conversation, while others include short exercises between sessions to practise new skills.
