Catherine Wilton
Practical support for stress, anxiety and addiction
About Catherine
Catherine Wilton helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood and issues with addiction. She works in plain language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Catherine is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, with six years of professional experience.
She has supported people dealing with grief and loss, low self-esteem, and a range of anxiety problems including panic and social anxiety.
Background and approach
Catherine also offers support for those struggling with drug and alcohol use and for people facing difficult life changes such as pregnancy and relationship challenges. She pays attention to practical day-to-day concerns like sleep, motivation and managing urges. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward.
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change, using mindful awareness to notice thoughts and Motivational Interviewing techniques to build motivation and small workable goals. Conversations are conversational rather than medicalised, and Catherine aims to help people notice small shifts that add up over time.
Before and during work with clients she draws on experience gained across independent practice, charities and NHS roles. This variety has informed how she tailors support to different needs and routines. People can expect a calm listener who uses clear questions and practical steps to move forward.
Beginning therapy can be hard and Catherine acknowledges that. She looks to create an open space where people can speak without judgement and take the next steps at a pace that feels right.

How Catherine uses mindful and motivational approaches online
Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations without judgement. It helps people become more aware of unhelpful patterns such as rumination and panic, and supports calmer responses to stressful moments.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way of helping someone find their own reasons to change. A counsellor asks curious questions, reflects what is said and helps set realistic, step-by-step goals for change in areas like substance use, motivation and self-care.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the person’s experience shapes which tools are used and how quickly they are introduced.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexibility to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to access therapy around work, childcare and other daily commitments.
