About Catherine Garbutt

Catherine Garbutt is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional practice who supports people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She combines professional training and personal insight to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma including domestic and sexual abuse, and issues related to motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Her work also includes support for eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career concerns, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related matters. She has experience working with both neurodivergent and neurotypical individuals and attends to complex presentations such as co-morbidity, chronic illness and caregiving stress.

Catherine practices from a collaborative, strengths-based stance, believing that each person is the expert in their own story and that therapy can build on existing resources to create lasting change. She describes therapy as a joint effort - the therapist facilitates reflection and skill-building while clients make decisions that shape their future. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, learning coping strategies for thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and gradually building greater confidence and steadiness in daily life.

She is registered with NCPS, a professional credential, and offers a flexible range of appointment times with the option to arrange sessions outside her usual schedule by mutual agreement. Catherine is currently accepting clients, including international clients, and offers multiple remote modalities to suit individual needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to commit to actions that reflect their values - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and behaviour, helping clients understand and shift dynamics in close relationships and improve connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and learning practical skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and stress management.

Catherine approaches treatment collaboratively - she works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the work, and she supports clients in making that choice together.

Online therapy with Catherine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance and differing comfort levels with communication. These options allow registered professionals to provide consistent, accessible care so clients can engage in therapy in a way that fits their life and pace.
