Healing is possible.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Hi, I’m Cathy.
​
You’re exhausted from holding it all together.
Maybe you’ve spent years pushing through anxiety, shame, or self-doubt.
Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or “too much.”
Or maybe you're only now realising that trauma — or ADHD — has shaped how you show up in the world.
I’m here to help you make sense of it all.
I support women who are navigating the long-term impact of trauma — sometimes complex, sometimes buried — and who may also be discovering how ADHD affects their emotional wellbeing, relationships, and self-esteem.
​
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, this space is for you.
About Cathy Waterhouse
Counsellor & Coach
I'm a trauma informed counsellor & coach with lived experience of trauma and ADHD.
For years, I lived with the silent effects of trauma. I pushed through, overachieved, and wore a mask of confidence, all while battling anxiety, self-doubt, and a deep fear of not being enough. Like so many people, I had learned to be strong, to keep going, to dismiss my own pain.
​
It wasn’t until I truly faced my trauma that I began to understand how much it had shaped me—the way I saw myself, my relationships, and the world around me.
I also discovered something life-changing: that I didn’t have to keep carrying it alone.
​
That realisation set me on a path of healing and, ultimately, led me to retrain as a counsellor and coach.
Now, I help others break free from the survival patterns that trauma creates - self-criticism, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, perfectionism, and fear of vulnerability; so they can start living fully instead of just coping.
I felt from the start that I was listened to, and that Cathy was the right person to help me.
