Catherine Wilkinson, BACP

Catherine Wilkinson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at making conversations feel manageable for someone who might be nervous about starting therapy.

Catherine uses a client-centred style that focuses on the person rather than labels. Sessions are shaped around what the client finds most pressing. She listens, reflects, and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices.

Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. That registration is noted as part of her professional details.

Catherine offers support for a range of related concerns such as codependency, dissociation, emptiness and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also works with issues like guilt and shame, jealousy, sexuality, women’s issues, workplace stress and challenges faced by young adults.

In sessions she aims to tailor the conversation and the plan to each person. She encourages small steps and practical coping tools alongside listening and reflection. The tone is compassionate and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel understood and clearer about next steps.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The therapist offers active listening, reflection and validation rather than directing clients toward a set technique. This approach helps people who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship or intimacy worries to feel heard and to make decisions that suit them.

In practice this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead. The therapist will ask about what matters most, mirror feelings back, and help the person explore options at their own pace. That collaborative stance suits people who want a supportive space to understand emotions and choices rather than step-by-step instruction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will help clients decide together which ways of working feel most helpful based on their goals and preferences. The plan can change as needs shift, and the client’s feedback shapes how sessions proceed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or options that don’t require being on camera. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options available before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help them keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
