About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of professional practice in the United Kingdom. She works with young adults and others on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, and questions around career and self-esteem.
Her approach treats the client as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on building everyday coping strategies. She uses conversational, client-centred methods to help people make decisions that fit their lives. Catherine describes therapy as a collaborative process that needs work from both people in the room.
She has experience supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, and those living with chronic health issues or neurodiversity. Conversations may cover emotional regulation, communication problems, attachment issues and patterns such as avoidance or codependency. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Catherine offers a range of appointment times and says she can sometimes arrange sessions outside her published schedule. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
She writes plainly and works to help clients learn new coping tools, build confidence and reach clearer decisions about relationships, work and wellbeing. Therapy draws on cognitive and behavioural techniques alongside acceptance and attachment-informed conversations.
How Catherine’s approaches translate to online work
Catherine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her online practice. ACT focuses on identifying values and taking meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings appear, which can help with anxiety and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships, and how those patterns affect adult connections and communication in friendships and partnerships.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Catherine aims to decide on methods together, using the client’s goals and preferences to guide whether more behavioural, acceptance-focused or attachment-informed techniques suit a person. That collaborative process helps shape what sessions look like over time.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a balance of study, work and social life. It can remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make regular meetings more achievable for people juggling shifts or classes. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to online sessions so therapeutic progress continues between meetings.
