About Kathryn

Kathryn Maddy-Powell is a counsellor with seven years of practice in paid and voluntary roles across the United Kingdom. She supports people through difficult experiences such as grief, loss and trauma. Her manner is calm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on creating a comfortable space where people can begin to talk and feel heard.

Her work includes support after permanent child removal, suicide prevention and postvention. She uses an integrative style, choosing approaches that fit each person rather than a single method.

Background and approach

That can mean drawing on client-centred listening, psychodynamic ideas about patterns, or practical cognitive-behavioural steps. Sessions are about noticing what matters to the person and finding useful ways to cope. Conversations look at feelings, past experiences that shape current reactions, and concrete strategies to manage difficult moments.

Kathryn adapts the mix of exploration and practical tools to each situation. She has experience with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bereavement, addictions, self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Kathryn also works with issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress and codependency when they affect day-to-day life.

Kathryn is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, follow the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How Kathryn’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a trusting space. The therapist mirrors what someone says and helps them make sense of their feelings, which can be useful for grief, low self-esteem and trauma-related distress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses short, focused exercises and practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Kathryn emphasises collaboration when choosing an approach. She will discuss options with each person, try things out and adjust the mix based on what feels most helpful. Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process rather than a fixed decision up front.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a full conversation with visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is enough. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflective writing or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress rather than travel or scheduling hurdles.
