About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt, NCPS, supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and codependency. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, and career-related strain. Catherine works with neurodivergent and neurotypical clients and welcomes international clients based in the United Kingdom.
She takes a collaborative approach that treats the person as the expert in their own life. Catherine listens first, then helps people spot patterns and try small, practical changes. Sessions focus on understanding upsetting thoughts and feelings, learning coping strategies, and building confidence to make decisions that feel right.
Catherine draws on several well-known approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She uses these to tailor work to each person’s needs, and adapts techniques to suit different problems and personalities.
Therapy with Catherine is described as a team effort where progress comes from regular practice and honest conversation. She aims to help people move from turbulent periods to steadier routines by teaching tools that can be used day to day. The work may include learning new coping skills, experimenting with different behaviours, and reflecting on past patterns.
Sessions are scheduled around client needs and she can discuss appointment times beyond her usual roster by mutual arrangement. To start, visitors complete a short questionnaire to match with Catherine and then arrange sessions according to availability.
How these approaches work online and in session
Catherine uses several practical approaches that help people manage thoughts and feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on spotting what matters to you and taking actions that match those values, even when thoughts are difficult. It can help with anxiety, low mood and codependency by clarifying priorities and building small, value-driven steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It involves trying experiments between sessions, learning new ways to respond to unhelpful thoughts, and building routines that improve mood and functioning. This approach often suits people wanting concrete skills for stress, sleep or eating concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and self‑belief. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and offers ways to try new patterns of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will discuss goals and preferences and will help choose or combine methods that fit the person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
