About Catherine

Catherine Wilkinson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and difficulties with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues and life changes.

Her approach is client-centred, which means conversations focus on the person's experience and priorities. Sessions tend to be conversational. Catherine listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck.

She has worked with people navigating family problems, codependency, dissociation and feelings of emptiness. She also supports those struggling with guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, jealousy and questions about sexuality and life purpose.

Catherine aims to adapt the pace and topics to the person in front of her. Practical steps and simple ways to practise new responses are often included alongside talking. Sessions can cover coping skills for difficult moments as well as looking at how past experiences shape current feelings.

People may choose to work on single issues like grief or on broader themes such as self-love and workplace stress. Catherine accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. The booking process asks for a short matching questionnaire and then a first session can be scheduled.

Client-centred work and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without directing the conversation, reflects what she hears, and helps the person make sense of their feelings. This approach is often useful for issues like guilt, shame, grief and low self-esteem because it starts from the client's own priorities.

In practice, sessions are conversational. Catherine aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and practise different responses between meetings. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative - she will work with each person to find what fits their needs and goals rather than imposing a single method.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or avoiding the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people sustain regular sessions alongside daily responsibilities.
