About Katie
Katie Madden is a counsellor who uses a practical, person-focused approach. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes and relationship strains.
Katie holds BACP registration and practices in the United Kingdom. Katie keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person. She adapts the conversation and plan to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
Conversations are respectful and calm, aimed at helping people find clearer steps forward. Her background includes six years of professional experience supporting a range of concerns. That work has involved helping people deal with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, sleep or eating problems, and career worries.
Katie pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that often underlie these issues. In session she draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress.
These approaches are used flexibly to match what each person needs. People who choose Katie can expect practical conversation and collaborative planning. She encourages small, manageable steps that connect to everyday life.
The aim is to help people build more reliable coping skills and a better sense of direction.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot patterns that keep problems going and test small changes to thinking or behaviour. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, panic, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt methods to fit what each person needs. That collaboration lets the therapy evolve as progress is made and circumstances change.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits fuller conversations and face-to-face style interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and can fit around work or family commitments. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going when life gets busy.
