About Kathryn
Kathryn Maddy-Powell is a counsellor with seven years of experience supporting people through difficult life events. She works with those facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma and offers calm, non-judgemental support. Kathryn holds BACP accreditation which reflects her professional registration in the United Kingdom.
She creates a warm, steady space where clients can talk about painful experiences. She listens for both what is said and what is hard to put into words.
Background and approach
That steady presence helps people feel understood and safe enough to explore difficult feelings. Kathryn uses an integrative approach and draws on different therapeutic styles to match each person’s situation. She commonly uses client-centred work to keep the relationship central, psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Her practice covers a broad range of concerns such as bereavement including loss to suicide or dementia, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also offers support around parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.
Sessions are offered across video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. The site uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions to suit their schedule.
How Kathryn’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the relationship and the therapist's listening. It helps people feel heard and accepted while they make sense of their feelings and decide what to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of thinking and acting. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan fits what actually helps in sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less data and can be simpler to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments.
