About Katie
Katie Bifulco is a person-centred counsellor who aims to offer calm, non-judgemental support. She introduces a straightforward, empathetic way of talking that helps people make sense of difficult feelings and decisions. Katie uses a gentle, listening approach to create space for clients to say what matters to them.
She encourages practical steps alongside reflection so people can try things that might make day-to-day life easier. Her style is warm and down-to-earth rather than technical or clinical.
How Katie works
In her five years in independent practice she has helped people who face anxiety, low mood and stress, along with those coping with loss or major life changes. She has experience with grief, parenting struggles, relationship problems and career-related strain. She also supports people dealing with long-term health conditions and the emotional impact of serious illness.
Katie draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. That includes client-centred work that focuses on the person’s priorities, psychodynamic ideas that look at patterns from the past, dialectical behaviour therapy techniques for emotional regulation, and solution-focused tools for setting short-term goals. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Katie welcomes initial enquiries and will explain the next steps when contacted.

Online support options
Approach-led online counselling and practical support
Client-centred work places the person and their priorities at the heart of sessions, focusing on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful for anyone who wants space to talk and to make sense of feelings without pressure.Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, provides clear strategies for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. It can help with stress, emotional overwhelm and repeated unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be explored together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor the mix of person-centred listening, DBT skills or short-term solution-focused work to suit those needs.
Online appointments are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls replicate face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments.
