Catherine Wilton, BACP

Catherine Wilton is a United Kingdom registered therapist with six years of professional experience working privately, with charities and currently within the NHS. She has supported people through stress, a variety of anxiety disorders, addictions, grief and loss, challenges with motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and depression. Catherine also works with related concerns including body image, communication difficulties, drug and alcohol addiction, family problems, guilt and shame, infidelity, loneliness, questions of life purpose, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, phobias, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and social anxiety.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where clients feel able to take the first steps toward change. Beginning therapy takes courage, and Catherine acknowledges and supports clients through that initial decision. Catherine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping each person set achievable goals and tailor strategies to their circumstances so they can build resilience, increase self-compassion, and find clearer direction in life.

Mindfulness and motivation for online therapy

Catherine uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients bring gentle, present-moment awareness to difficult thoughts and bodily sensations. This approach teaches simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce the intensity of anxiety, panic symptoms, and stress reactions and make it easier to respond rather than react.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative, goal-focused method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen internal motivation for change. This approach can be especially helpful for those working through addictions, low motivation, or stages of transition where deciding on next steps feels hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Catherine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Catherine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around busy lives, and use therapy in ways that feel most manageable for the individual.
