About Katie

Katie Madden is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred approach and practical techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings six years of professional experience to her work.

Katie aims to create a respectful and sensitive space where people can talk through low mood, self-esteem concerns and motivation struggles. She keeps language simple and focuses on everyday problems people bring, such as coping with life changes or feeling overwhelmed.

Background and approach

In sessions she adapts her style to each person’s needs. Sometimes that means listening and reflecting to help clarify feelings. Other times it means using cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes.

Katie also supports people dealing with relationship and family tensions, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She offers help with sleeping and eating difficulties, panic and social anxiety, and issues common in young adulthood. People who work with Katie get straightforward suggestions they can try between sessions.

She encourages small steps and regular review so progress can be tracked. The initial process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for each person.

How Katie blends person-centred care and CBT online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them before deciding on next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to decide which tools suit their goals and preferences. She adapts the pace and methods as progress is reviewed so the plan stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, study and family life.
