Catherine Hoversholm offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. She helps clients who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation, sleep problems, parenting strains and big life changes. Catherine aims to make the first step feel less daunting and more doable for someone who is worried or unsure where to begin.

Catherine is registered with NCPS, which is shown after her name. She brings 15 years of professional experience to each conversation.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and straightforward, focused on what matters most to the person attending. Her work often draws on client-centred approaches that let the client take the lead while the counsellor listens and reflects. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out small behaviour changes.

Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage stress and improve sleep. Catherine also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns may influence current feelings and relationships. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want short-term practical steps and clear goals.

The combination means sessions can be tailored to deal with immediate problems or longer-standing concerns. Conversations are grounded, compassionate and goal-aware. Catherine aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, make decisions and rebuild confidence.

She supports each client to set realistic steps and review progress along the way.

How Catherine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the client to lead the pace and topics of sessions. It helps when someone needs space to talk things through and make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means sessions can be short-term and goal-focused or more exploratory depending on what the client wants.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or mobility constraints.
