About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people living with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, addiction and ADHD. Catherine draws on four years of professional experience and a personal understanding of hardship to work alongside people as they regain stability.
She believes people know their own story and brings a collaborative, down-to-earth approach to sessions. Catherine aims to help clients understand their worries, learn practical coping strategies, and grow in confidence. She says change takes courage and that therapy is a team effort requiring work from both parties.
In practical terms she will help clients talk through upsetting events, develop ways to manage difficult thoughts and feelings, and practise new behaviours that make daily life easier. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. Catherine uses a mix of methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centred listening to suit each person.
She is comfortable supporting people with complex and overlapping issues such as chronic health problems, caregiving stress, body image and attachment concerns. Catherine also notes experience with neurodivergent and neurotypical people and a range of emotional and behavioural challenges.
If someone decides to begin, Catherine asks them to take the first step and reach out so they can arrange appointment times and plan the next steps together.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It suits people who want practical ways to handle anxiety, low mood or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and teaches skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current feelings and closeness, and can help when relationship patterns or attachment worries cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit best. The process is collaborative and may blend elements from different approaches over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a convenient location or pace sessions around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to help therapy fit into everyday life, while still focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
