Catherine Hoversholm, NCPS

Catherine Hoversholm offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem, low motivation and symptoms of depression find clearer steps forward. Catherine writes simply and listens closely so concerns can be named and understood. She brings 15 years of professional experience to sessions and holds the NCPS credential. That background guides a steady, person-focused way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Catherine aims to make the first steps less daunting and the pace manageable. In sessions she creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be voiced without judgement. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Practical tools and small experiments are used alongside deeper reflection. Her approach draws on client-centred ways of working that follow the client’s lead. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to try more effective habits. Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused ideas are offered when they suit someone’s goals. People seeking help with parenting strain, relationship worries, sleep problems, career stress, chronic health concerns or compassion fatigue will find relevant experience here. Catherine welcomes enquiries from English-speaking adults based in the United Kingdom who want a calm, down-to-earth counsellor to help them move forward.

How Catherine’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and creating a supportive space to talk. It helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings, build confidence, or decide what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different actions to feel and function better; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and will suggest methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed. Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people join sessions from wherever they are based in the United Kingdom, while working with a registered or accredited professional to tailor the pace and focus of therapy.
