About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt, NCPS, helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those coping with relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD and life changes. She makes space for people to talk about career strain, self-esteem, parenting pressures and health-related concerns.
She works in a collaborative way. Catherine treats each person as the expert in their own experience and builds on strengths already present. Sessions focus on practical steps so clients learn new ways to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Progress is paced to suit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her approach draws on well-known therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Catherine also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to make sense of relationships and personal patterns. These methods are used to help people try out different responses and build skills that last beyond therapy.
She has four years of professional experience and combines that with personal insight to shape how she works. Catherine aims for conversations that are straightforward and focused on what matters now. She says change takes effort from both people in the room and sees therapy as a practical, joint process.
Catherine is based in the United Kingdom and works with people who want a clearer handle on their emotions, coping strategies and life choices. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to make the first move when they feel ready and she will arrange sessions together.
How different approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice stressful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when someone wants clearer direction in life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression and practical problem solving. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help with intimacy and communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and reducing travel time. Online work can make scheduling easier around work or family commitments and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the exact session options before booking so arrangements suit your routine and needs.
