About Katie

Katie Madden is a counsellor who uses a warm, person-centred style alongside practical cognitive approaches. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Katie also supports those dealing with depression, life changes and relationship or family concerns.

She is accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Katie draws on six years of experience in the UK to shape straightforward, tailored sessions. Conversations are respectful and down-to-earth, and she adapts her way of working to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

In sessions she blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helping people talk through feelings and try small, manageable changes. That might include spotting unhelpful thought patterns, planning steps for difficult situations, or practising self-care routines. Katie also offers support for grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting stress.

She can work with people experiencing panic, dissociation, isolation or struggles with commitment and attachment. Her practical focus is on making progress that fits into everyday life. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that sets clear, achievable goals and checks what is or is not helping as therapy continues.

Practical approaches for online counselling and therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions. It focuses on listening, showing understanding and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building confidence, improving self-esteem and getting clearer about values and goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, works on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It teaches simple strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to test out different actions. CBT can help with anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will adjust methods together with the client. This is a collaborative process that looks for what feels most helpful in everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a quieter environment is available. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, ongoing reflection and for people who prefer writing over talking.

These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel, while keeping the focus on practical steps and clear goals.
