About Catherine

Catherine Garbutt NCPS helps people facing money and financial issues alongside stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship struggles. She is based in the United Kingdom and draws on four years of professional experience. Catherine aims to be a steady presence while people work through difficult life chapters and emotional setbacks.

She invites clients to see themselves as experts in their own story. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on building coping skills for everyday pressures. The goal is to reduce overwhelm, strengthen decision-making, and increase confidence over time.

Catherine uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with values-driven action and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking. Attachment-informed work and client-centred listening are used to understand relationships and emotional patterns.

In sessions she works collaboratively and expects effort from both people and therapist. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will make life more manageable. She supports clients through issues such as trauma, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, addiction concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Catherine offers flexible appointment options and is open to arranging times by mutual agreement. International clients may be accepted. To begin, people are invited to use the site Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and making decisions about money and life priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to change how someone feels. It can be helpful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems and managing impulses related to addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Catherine treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods suit a person's goals, preferences and day-to-day demands. She adjusts plans based on what is helpful and practical.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and for keeping check-ins concise when needed. Online meetings can make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to try tools in real-life situations soon after talking them through.
