About Seaneen
Seaneen Madden is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. Her work also covers relationship strain, parenting challenges and issues linked to addiction or trauma.
She aims to make sessions respectful and sensitive. Conversations and any plan are shaped around what each person needs. Seaneen keeps language plain and practical so parents and busy people can follow the work easily.
How Seaneen works
Her approach blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. She also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when those frameworks suit a person’s concerns. That mix means sessions can shift between practical coping strategies and deeper exploration of meaning or identity.
Typical sessions look at current problems and build small, doable changes. For anxiety and sleeping issues she uses straightforward tools to reduce symptoms. For relationship and family stress she focuses on clearer communication and setting manageable boundaries.
Seaneen also supports people facing grief, eating or anger problems, caregiver stress, neurodiversity-related concerns and recovery from domestic or other forms of violence. She adapts pace and methods to match each person’s history and goals. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady, non-judgemental support as people work towards clearer routines and better coping.

Online support options
Approaches that shape online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely and follows the individual’s pace, helping people find their own answers and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship difficulties and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Seaneen will discuss different methods and help decide what feels useful based on a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation can change over time as needs shift or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can serve for quick check-ins or reflective work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy around family, work and daily routines.
