About Catherine
Catherine Hoversholm is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She makes space for clients to talk about loss, self-esteem and life changes. Catherine speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel less daunting for someone worried about reaching out.
With 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she brings steady support to conversations about motivation, confidence and coping skills.
Background and approach
Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on listening first and then finding practical ways forward together. Catherine draws on client-centred work to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice and change patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness tools are offered to build calm and reduce reactivity in daily life. Sessions are conversational and tailored. Catherine aims to help people set small, achievable goals and try out new ways of coping between meetings.
She also explores thoughts and early life patterns when that helps someone understand current struggles. People commonly bring concerns about relationships, parenting strain, sleep or work stress. Catherine also supports those dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD and chronic health challenges.
Her practice is practical, steady and aimed at helping people move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centred work keeps the focus on the person’s priorities and lived experience, allowing sessions to follow what matters most to the client and build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then practise alternatives that reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to fit the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where options are tried and reviewed together to find what helps most.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be better when video is not convenient. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins, shorter catch-ups or moments when writing helps to order thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments by offering a range of ways to connect with a therapist.
