About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt, NCPS, supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and life changes. She works with grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, as well as addiction and ADHD-related challenges. Catherine aims to help people build coping skills and grow in confidence through collaborative sessions.
Catherine offers straightforward, practical counselling. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and works alongside them to find useful ways forward. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, learning new strategies for thoughts and behaviours, and practising skills that fit everyday life.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods including cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment tools and attachment-focused thinking. Catherine uses these to help clients manage unhelpful thinking, reduce overwhelm, and improve relationships with themselves and others. She also uses elements from client-centred and dialectical approaches to keep sessions grounded and compassionate.
With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Catherine has supported people with trauma, medical and caregiving stress, body image and sexuality concerns, and long-term health issues. Her background includes work with both neurodivergent and neurotypical clients, and she adapts her pace to each person’s needs.
Catherine asks for a collaborative commitment to change rather than promising quick fixes. She offers a range of appointment times and is willing to arrange sessions outside her usual schedule by mutual agreement. To begin, follow the site process to match and book a session.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Catherine uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, values-led actions even when feelings are difficult, which suits longer-term change and coping with loss or chronic stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Catherine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and daily life, and then collaboratively decide which methods to try. She adapts pace and techniques to what the client needs rather than following a fixed programme.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work easier for keeping regular appointments, managing follow-up tasks between meetings, and using tools such as thought records or behaviour plans during sessions to support sleep and routine changes.
