About Seaneen
Seaneen Madden is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience and a BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those facing relationship strains and parenting challenges. Her manner is calm and respectful and she aims to make the first steps feel less daunting.
Seaneen shapes sessions around each person's needs rather than using a fixed script. She listens to what matters most and adapts the conversation and practical tools accordingly.
Background and approach
Clients can expect straightforward talk about what is worrying them and simple strategies to try between meetings. She draws on several approaches to match different problems. For example, she uses client-centred methods to build a trusting conversation.
Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. Dialectical ideas help when strong emotions feel overwhelming. Seaneen also pays attention to life events such as grief, trauma and big transitions.
She supports people dealing with addiction, sleep or eating concerns and those coping with career stress or caregiver burden. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems and the effects of domestic violence. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging.
She works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and practical steps that fit their day-to-day life.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines that people can practise between sessions. Dialectical behaviour therapy elements are used when regulation of strong emotions is needed, offering skills for distress tolerance and emotion management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and collaboratively decide which methods align with the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing one approach from the start.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and everyday life.
