About Kathryn

Kathryn Maddy-Powell is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years of practice across paid and voluntary settings. She works with people facing big life stresses like grief, trauma and loss. Her manner is calm and non-judgemental, helping people feel understood and able to speak about hard things.

She has supported women and partners after the permanent removal of a child, worked in suicide prevention and postvention, and helped those coping with bereavement from suicide or dementia.

Background and approach

Kathryn listens for both what is said and what is not said, and uses that to build trust. Kathryn draws on several approaches and chooses what fits each person. She uses client-centred work to follow people’s own pace and perspective.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered when practical steps and changing unhelpful thinking will help. Solution-focused ideas are used to spot strengths and small changes that make a difference.

She blends these methods to match the needs presented in session. Sessions are offered in English and Kathryn practises from the United Kingdom. She aims to create an environment where people can talk about difficult feelings, understand patterns, and develop manageable ways to move forward.

How Kathryn's approaches translate online

Client-Centred work focuses on listening and following the person's pace. Online this means sessions concentrate on what the client brings and on building a steady therapeutic relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at practical steps and exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; online CBT can include homework and real-time conversation to try new strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathryn will discuss different methods and agree a plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences. This is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or who need brief, on-the-go contact. Registered or accredited professionals can provide these formats to reach people across the United Kingdom and help maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
