About Katie
Katie Madden is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She writes in a direct, supportive way and aims to make sessions practical and straightforward. Katie welcomes honest conversation and keeps things focused on what the person needs right now.
Katie uses a mixture of client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. She listens first, then helps people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour that keep problems going.
Background and approach
From there she works with each person to try new responses and small, manageable changes. Over six years of practice in the United Kingdom have given Katie experience with depression, self-esteem and motivation. She also helps people facing life changes, grief, relationship strain and intimacy concerns.
Eating and sleeping troubles, panic and social anxiety are other areas she sees regularly. Sessions are shaped to the individual. Katie aims to be respectful and sensitive while offering clear, practical steps.
She will tailor conversations and short-term plans to what a person wants to work on now. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Katie encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and supports people through small, achievable goals as confidence grows.
Practical approaches for online therapy and coping
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following the person's lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help someone feel heard and to clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, emotional support or a safe space to talk.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, panic and low mood over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to suit each person's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so plans are agreed together and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face contact, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help therapy fit around work, family life and other commitments while keeping focus on steady, practical steps.
