About Catherine
Catherine Hoversholm supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She helps clients who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation and major life changes. Catherine is based in the United Kingdom and brings 15 years of professional experience to conversations about parenting and other everyday pressures.
She works to make sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps might ease things.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and non-judgemental, so people can say difficult things and be heard. Catherine uses a mix of approaches, selecting methods that suit each person. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviour, practising mindful ways to cope, or concentrating on immediate problems and solutions.
She adapts the pace to the concerns presented and the client’s comfort level. Clients can expect clear aims for therapy and practical tools to try between sessions. Catherine values collaboration and checks in regularly about progress.
This keeps work focused and relevant to everyday life. Her registration is listed as NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and include video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How Catherine blends therapy approaches online
Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and actions interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy invites simple exercises to build awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine talks with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they feel useful and manageable for the client.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are good for a fuller face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits quick check-ins, brief problem-solving and people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare and other commitments.
