About Katie
Katie Madden works from a person-centred outlook, helping people feel heard and understood before moving to practical tools. She combines that client-centred stance with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, so conversations are warm but focused on change. Katie is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, and she has six years of professional experience supporting people through common difficulties.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety, and tackles issues with low self-esteem and depression.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing life changes, relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, grief and trauma. Practical problems such as sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and career uncertainty are included in her work too. Katie uses short, clear steps when helpful.
That can mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behaviour changes between sessions. It can also mean listening fully and adjusting the pace to suit each person’s needs. She explains methods plainly and encourages questions.
The approach is collaborative. Clients can expect to set simple goals, review progress, and adapt the plan when needed. Katie aims to make sessions a place to try things out, reflect on what helps, and build steady coping skills.
Her style is gentle and practical. She focuses on what matters most to each person and keeps the work straightforward. Katie’s aim is to help people feel more capable and more in control of everyday life.

Approaches Katie lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on exploration, practical exercises, or a mix of both.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and day-to-day demands while still working on meaningful change with a registered professional.
