About Catherine

Catherine Hoversholm welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief or changes in life. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and works alongside clients to build confidence and motivation. Catherine uses a warm, straightforward approach so people can talk about difficult feelings without judgement.

With 15 years of professional experience, Catherine draws on practical methods to help people cope with everyday pressures. She listens to each person’s story and helps them spot patterns that make life harder. Conversations focus on what matters most now and on small, realistic changes that can make a difference.

Catherine blends different approaches depending on the person’s needs. She uses client-centred listening to understand what a person wants from therapy. She also offers tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines.

Sessions are calm and down-to-earth. Catherine pays attention to feelings like anger, abandonment, emptiness and compassion fatigue, as well as issues such as parenting strain, relationship worries and sleep problems. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, long-term illness and caregiver stress.

Catherine is credentialed with NCPS in the United Kingdom and works with people in English. She encourages anyone thinking about therapy to take their time and ask questions before booking a session.

How Catherine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It gives space for people to say what matters to them and to set the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as the relationship grows. She views therapy as a collaboration where both sides test what helps and change course if needed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, offering shorter check-ins between meetings, or allowing sessions during a lunch break. Many people find that regular online appointments help them keep momentum while juggling day-to-day responsibilities.
