About Catherine
Catherine Hoversholm offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life change. She helps with low mood, confidence and motivation, and with everyday struggles such as sleeping problems and anger. Catherine presents herself in a straightforward, compassionate way so conversations stay focused and easy to follow.
She has 15 years of professional experience and holds NCPS. Over that time she has supported people through bereavement, separation and major life transitions. Sessions aim to give space to talk and to find small, manageable steps forward.
Catherine uses several well known approaches to suit each person. Client-Centred Therapy forms the backbone of her style, with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques added when practical changes and new habits are needed. Mindfulness tools and short solution-focused work are used to help with stress and sleep when appropriate.
In session she encourages clear, concrete goals and regular review so progress stays visible. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings and daily routines interact and helps people build strategies they can use between meetings. The overall aim is to make therapy feel useful and relevant to everyday life.
People considering Catherine will be invited to describe what matters most to them. From there she helps shape a plan that fits their situation, whether the focus is on coping with loss, improving self-esteem, or managing work-related strain.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions; online work lets that conversation happen more flexibly, with space to reflect and set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and practical habits, using structured exercises and small experiments that can be set as between-session tasks. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, which can be practised in short daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to decide whether listening-led sessions, CBT techniques or mindfulness practice feels most helpful. She checks progress and adapts methods to match the client’s priorities and pace.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the ability to meet without travelling. Many people find shorter check-ins or exercises by message or call help keep momentum, while others prefer longer conversations. The specific session formats available should be confirmed before booking so they match the client’s needs and daily routine.
