About Catherine
Catherine "Cathy" Waterhouse helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and the strain of life changes. She also supports those facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, career questions, compassion fatigue and workplace problems. Cathy’s style is warm and friendly and she aims to make it easy to take the first step.
Cathy listens closely and lets the client set the pace for sessions. She uses a client-centred way of working so people can talk through what matters to them without judgement.
Background and approach
She also brings solution-focused techniques to help identify small, practical steps forward. Over four years she has worked with people on issues such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and isolation. Cathy combines coaching strategies with counselling skills to help people move from feeling stuck to taking action.
Clients often ask for practical tools to build confidence, manage emotions and find clearer direction. Cathy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to offer those tools in straightforward ways. Her BACP credential means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, as supplied in her details.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented when that suits the client, or gently explorative when someone needs space to process. Cathy encourages small changes that add up to real difference over time.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening and creating a non-judgemental space. That approach is useful when someone needs to process grief, shame or relationship hurt and feels safer when heard.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cathy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. She treats it as a collaborative process and adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when a camera is not wanted, and messaging offers short check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
