About Catherine
Catherine Garbutt is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, and career or life-change challenges. Catherine also helps people facing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem.
She communicates plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.
Background and approach
Catherine describes therapy as a collaborative process. She meets the person where they are and helps them identify their own strengths. Sessions focus on practical coping strategies, clearer decision-making and building confidence over time.
She is open about the effort involved and sets realistic expectations about progress. Her approach draws on several therapeutic styles, including Jungian therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, alongside attachment-focused and cognitive behavioural ideas. These methods are used to help people understand patterns, manage difficult emotions, and try new ways of responding.
Catherine uses a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s goals central. She holds NCPS as a listed credential and has four years of professional experience. Catherine is comfortable working with both neurodivergent and neurotypical people and offers sessions in English.
She accepts international clients and provides a range of appointment times by arrangement. If someone is ready to begin, Catherine asks them to start the simple matching process and then schedule sessions that fit their life. The work is practical and paced to suit the individual’s needs.

Online support
Working online with Jungian and ACT approaches
Jungian therapy helps people explore personal symbols, recurring dreams and life themes to gain insight into patterns that affect mood and relationships. It can be useful for people who want to understand deeper issues and develop a clearer sense of self.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to accept difficult feelings and focus energy on values-based actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions where managing thoughts and taking meaningful steps matters.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances. She helps clients test approaches and adjust them over time so the sessions stay relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper dialogue and seeing non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for quick check-ins and messaging helps maintain short, day-to-day contact. These formats make it simpler to arrange appointments around work, family or travel and to use the style of contact that suits each person.
