About Catherine

Catherine Wilton offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She focuses on simple steps to help people manage strong feelings, cope with loss, and rebuild motivation and self‑worth. Catherine is based in the United Kingdom and lists BACP as a professional registration.

She brings six years of professional experience working across independent practice, charities and the NHS. That range means she has worked with a wide variety of concerns, from panic and phobias to addictions and grief.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be straightforward and down to earth. Catherine uses mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice and handle difficult thoughts and emotions. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits or feel stuck.

These approaches are used together in ways that suit each person’s needs. In a typical meeting she encourages honest conversation and practical planning. People can expect space to talk, times to reflect, and small steps to try between sessions.

The tone is non-judgemental and focused on what matters to the individual. She welcomes questions about the process and how therapy could fit into daily life. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Catherine aims to make each session manageable and clear so people can move forward at a steady pace.

How Catherine uses mindfulness and motivation online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. In practice this means short breathing or grounding exercises, guided attention practices and learning to spot unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. This can be useful for panic, social anxiety, rumination and stress.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping someone find their own reasons to change and build confidence in trying new habits. Sessions use open questions, reflective listening and small achievable goals to increase motivation around issues such as drug and alcohol use, procrastination or lifestyle changes.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy and Catherine treats it as a team effort. She will listen to your aims and try different ideas alongside you, adjusting methods to match what feels useful and realistic. This collaborative process helps decide whether mindfulness, motivational work, or a mix of both is best.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when a quieter connection is needed, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare or other daily routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
