Catherine Garbutt

Catherine Garbutt NCPS offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and major life changes. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger and self-esteem. Catherine works with people who face ADHD, compassion fatigue, career doubts and complex medical or caregiving pressures. She practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English.

Catherine approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and on building coping strategies that fit daily life.

Her background combines professional experience and personal insight, which she draws on when supporting people through change. Catherine uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs, and she explains methods in simple, clear terms so clients know what to expect.

People can work on short-term goals such as coping strategies and motivation, or on longer-term changes like confidence and communication. Catherine emphasises collaboration - she facilitates the work while clients make the choices that shape their future.

Sessions aim to reduce the highs and lows many people describe, helping them reach a steadier place over time. Catherine can arrange appointments flexibly and is willing to schedule outside her usual times by mutual agreement.

How Catherine uses different therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on living according to their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with stress, sleeping and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns formed early in life and helps people understand how these affect current relationships and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Catherine will work with each person to identify which ideas and exercises fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor the sessions so they feel relevant and useful.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and avoiding travel time. Online therapy can make it easier to keep regular appointments during work breaks or on days when leaving home is difficult.
