About Kathryn
Kathryn Maddy-Powell is a counsellor with seven years of clinical experience in paid and voluntary roles. She supports people through difficult life events and complex emotional issues. Her style is calm and non-judgemental, and she listens for both what is said and what is not.
Kathryn aims to create a comfortable space where people can begin to trust the process. She has worked with people facing grief, loss, and trauma, including bereavement after suicide and dementia.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. Kathryn helps with relationship strain, addiction concerns, self-esteem, and managing major life changes. Her approach is integrative.
She draws on client-centred methods to follow the individual's pace and perspective. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Psychodynamic and existential ideas inform longer-term themes and questions about meaning and identity.
Solution-focused tools are brought in to set small, practical goals and notice change between sessions. Kathryn tailors these methods to what each person needs in the moment. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Kathryn practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative conversation can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or comfort on camera is an issue, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health demands while still using the therapeutic approaches described above.
