About Seaneen
Seaneen Madden is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, parenting pressures and trauma. Seaneen aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to talk about what is hurting them.
She adapts conversations and the plan of work to fit each person's situation.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and straightforward, with emphasis on what matters most right now. Seaneen uses techniques that help people manage feelings, think differently about problems, and try out small changes between sessions. Her areas of focus include grief, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career decisions and coping with big life changes.
She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, caregiver stress, and the effects of domestic violence. Trauma and abuse are listed among her areas of practice, and she supports people processing those experiences. Seaneen draws on a mix of therapy styles to suit the person in front of her.
These include client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural approaches to change unhelpful thoughts, and skills-based methods for emotional regulation. She also brings reflective perspectives from existential and Jungian ideas when these fit a client's needs. People who value a calm, down-to-earth approach tend to find her helpful.
She encourages small, achievable steps and works collaboratively so clients feel involved in planning their care. Taking the first step is acknowledged as hard, and Seaneen aims to offer steady support along the way.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client decide which topics to explore and which goals to set. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear strategies such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying behavioural experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress management because it gives practical steps people can use between sessions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It includes techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and mindful awareness, which can help with anger, relationship conflict and impulsive behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and test what fits a client's needs, goals and preferences so the plan evolves with time. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls suit deeper conversations and face-to-face connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care across different circumstances.
