Katie Madden is a counsellor who uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people feel steadier in their day-to-day lives. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and supports people coping with life changes. Katie speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom.

She holds BACP accreditation. Katie aims for straightforward conversations that make sense on a busy day. Sessions focus on what matters most now, with practical steps to try between meetings.

Background and approach

She listens for patterns that keep problems looping and gently questions thoughts and behaviours that may be holding someone back. Her work often covers relationship and intimacy-related issues, family and parenting concerns, grief, and trauma or abuse. She also supports people with sleep or eating difficulties, panic attacks, dissociation, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

Young adult issues and women’s concerns are also within her focus. Katie blends a warm, respectful stance with tools that change thinking and behaviour. That means some sessions are reflective and listening-led, while others include specific techniques to manage anxiety or low mood.

She adapts the pace and approach to each person’s needs. With six years of experience, Katie helps people set simple goals and track small wins. She encourages realistic steps that fit everyday life, so improvements can build over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor creates a respectful, non-judgemental space and follows the pace the client sets. This approach is helpful for people needing acceptance, clarity and a chance to talk things through.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits. CBT is often chosen for stress, panic, sleep problems and low mood.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest ways forward. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to try and adjust them over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be less demanding on bandwidth, and messaging or chat suits quick check-ins or shorter sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, family or other commitments.
