About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. She also helps those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the practical strains of parenting, work and health. Catherine brings four years of professional experience and personal insight to her practice.
She works in a collaborative way, treating the client as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on helping people understand their worries, learn coping strategies and build confidence. Catherine aims to help each person make decisions that last beyond the therapy room.
Her approach draws on several therapeutic styles, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. She tailors these methods to suit the concerns someone brings, whether that is managing mood, sleep or concentration, coping with chronic health issues, or navigating difficult relationships.
Catherine notes that change takes effort from both parties and describes counselling as a collaborative process. She offers a range of appointment times and is open to arranging alternative slots by mutual agreement. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire before scheduling based on the therapist's availability.

Approaches that translate to online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with long-term health issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises for sleep, mood and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can support work on intimacy, communication and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together so the therapy fits what the person needs. This is presented as a collaborative process rather than a fixed programme.
The biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use practical exercises and skills work between sessions, which many find helpful for progress.
