About Catherine

Catherine Wilkinson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also helps with intimacy-related worries, life changes and feelings of emptiness. Catherine uses a respectful, compassionate style and aims to make first steps feel manageable for anyone who is unsure where to begin.

With three years of professional experience she adapts conversations and plans to fit each person. She works with issues like codependency, dissociation, guilt and shame, loneliness and jealousy. She also supports people navigating work pressures, sexuality questions, and concerns common in young adulthood.

Catherine draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which means she centres the sessions on the person's own experience and priorities. She focuses on listening, reflecting what she hears, and helping people find their own direction rather than following a fixed script.

Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs in the moment. Catherine aims to be practical and straightforward, helping people develop clearer coping strategies and small steps they can try between sessions.

She welcomes conversations about grief, motivation and confidence and will work with each person to set realistic goals. Catherine encourages people to take the step of trying counselling and will collaborate on a plan that suits their situation.

Working online with a client-centred focus

Catherine uses Client-Centred Therapy online, which means sessions focus on the client's experience and goals. In practice this looks like listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people identify the next steps that feel right for them. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions because it centres the person's own priorities.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Catherine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the sessions accordingly. That collaborative conversation helps decide how to pace work and what issues to prioritise first.

If you are interested in online work, please confirm the available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help maintain continuity when life requires flexibility, and Catherine will work with each person to choose what suits them best.
