About Catherine
Catherine Wilton helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or problems with addiction. She meets clients with empathy and practical focus. Catherine creates space for people to talk about difficult feelings and to start making changes.
She has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. That work has included independent practice, roles with charities and time working within the NHS. This range of settings means she is used to supporting people at different stages of struggle and recovery.
How Catherine works
Catherine often works with worry and panic symptoms, obsessive patterns, social phobia and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship difficulties, body image concerns and issues related to drug and alcohol use. Sessions aim to reduce intense distress and rebuild everyday coping.
Her approach blends mindfulness therapy and motivational interviewing. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Motivational interviewing is used to clarify what someone wants to change and to find small, workable steps towards that goal.
In sessions Catherine keeps language simple and practical. She focuses on what someone needs right now and on small, achievable actions. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make the first steps easier to take.

How Catherine’s approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, physical sensations and emotions without getting carried away by them. Online sessions can include short guided practices and in-the-moment skills to help reduce panic, social anxiety and rumination.Motivational interviewing focuses on understanding what matters to the person and building motivation for change. In remote sessions this looks like open questions, reflecting back what a person says, and helping set small, realistic goals for issues like reducing substance use or improving self-care.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine will discuss options and help decide what fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets someone check in without scheduling a full call, and text-based messaging supports quick updates between sessions. These choices help therapy fit around work, childcare and busy lives while keeping focus on meaningful change.
