About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Catherine uses everyday language and a practical approach to make therapy feel understandable and reachable.
She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. Catherine works collaboratively and encourages small, manageable steps. She explains the work clearly and helps people learn coping strategies for thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
Her practice draws on several therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance and commitment methods. These help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and commit to values-based actions. Attachment-informed thinking is used to look at how past relationships shape current reactions.
Sessions focus on what matters now and on building skills that work day to day. Catherine aims to help people gain confidence and steadiness over time rather than offering quick fixes. She is open to arranging appointment times outside her usual schedule when needed.
Therapy with Catherine uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients who speak English may work with her. To start, pick the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How theoretical approaches shape online work
Catherine uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT-style techniques often involve practical exercises and behaviour experiments that can be reviewed between meetings to build new habits.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Catherine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts strategies as the work progresses.
The original biography does not list specific online or phone formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-in appointments, or letting sessions fit around work or caregiving routines. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
