Catherine Wilton , BACP

Catherine Wilton holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings six years of professional experience working privately, with charities, and within the NHS in the United Kingdom. She supports people coping with stress, generalised and specific anxiety disorders, addictions, grief and loss, motivation difficulties, low self-esteem and confidence, and symptoms of depression.

Her practice emphasises an open, non-judgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely. She focuses on helping clients build practical coping strategies and clearer self-understanding so they can move forward from difficult experiences. Beginning therapy often requires courage, and she recognises and respects the step people take when they reach out for support.

In sessions she aims to work collaboratively, adapting her approach to each person’s needs and goals. Whether someone is seeking help for an acute episode of anxiety, support through bereavement, or strategies to manage addictive behaviours, she offers steady professional guidance drawn from her varied experience across private, charity, and NHS settings.

Online approaches with mindfulness and motivational interviewing

Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for managing stress, reducing the intensity of anxious thoughts, and improving emotional regulation by building simple attention and breathing practices.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused conversation style that explores ambivalence and strengthens a person’s own motivation for change. It is often applied when someone is weighing up changes related to addiction, habits, or lifestyle and benefits those who want practical support in finding their own reasons to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt sessions as understanding deepens.

Online work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and maintain continuity of care while using approaches like mindfulness and motivational interviewing in ways that suit each client.
