About Katie
Katie Madden is a counsellor who uses client-centred work alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people handle stress, anxiety and low mood. She holds BACP registration and brings six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Katie aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive.
Katie focuses on practical problems like coping with life changes, sleep and eating difficulties, and career concerns. She also helps with relationship strain, intimacy issues, and family-related pressures.
How Katie works
Her practice includes work around attachment, commitment and blended family challenges. Sessions often address anxiety patterns such as panic attacks, social anxiety and isolation. Katie also works with people dealing with trauma, grief, dissociation and self-harm concerns.
She supports those wanting to build self-esteem and self-love, and young adults navigating early life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and person-led. Conversations are tailored to each person, and goals are agreed together.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy may be used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours. Client-centred work provides a calm space to reflect and feel heard. Katie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging for ongoing support.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Katie uses client-centred work and CBT online
Katie combines Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and letting the person set the pace; it helps when someone needs a non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage panic and improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt sessions accordingly. That collaborative process helps decide whether a gentler listening approach, practical CBT techniques, or a mix of both will help most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a lunchbreak or a short check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, want brief ongoing support, or need a low-key way to process between sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, family and daily life.
