Catherine Hoversholm , NCPS

Catherine Hoversholm is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, grief or low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, parenting strain, relationship difficulties or career uncertainty. Catherine aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.

Her approach is relaxed and conversational. She creates space for clients to talk through thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside reflection, so people leave with things they can try between meetings.

Catherine draws on several ways of working to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centred listening to set priorities together, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and promote calm. She may also explore how past patterns shape present difficulties when that feels useful.

Over her career she has supported people with a wide range of concerns from sleeping problems and anger to compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Catherine also addresses issues such as grief, abandonment, caregiver strain and chronic illness in straightforward terms. Her NCPS credential is listed as a professional marker of her background.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online using a mix of video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Catherine works collaboratively to set goals and adjusts the approach as needs change.

How Catherine’s approaches work online

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is practical and often focuses on small, achievable steps to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses to stress and grief.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Progress is checked together and the plan is adjusted if something isn’t helping.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a straightforward check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections, brief updates between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options support flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and energy levels.
