About Katie
Katie Madden uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She combines that with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Katie works in the United Kingdom and has six years of professional experience.
She holds BACP accreditation which is listed as her credential. Katie helps people manage depression and cope with life changes. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, family pressures and grief.
Background and approach
Practical matters like eating, sleeping and parenting are also part of her focus. Her sessions can address attachment problems, commitment worries and the strain of blended family arrangements. She also works with people affected by trauma, dissociation or panic attacks.
Issues such as self-harm, social anxiety, isolation and concerns around intimacy are included in her practice. In sessions she aims to personalise the conversation and the plan. That means first listening and then using CBT tools where they fit.
Clients can expect straightforward goals and steps to try between meetings. Katie describes her role as supportive and respectful. She encourages people to take small steps towards change.
The emphasis is on collaboration and building confidence over time.

How Katie's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening-led relationship. The counsellor helps people talk through their experience without judgement and follows the client's pace, which suits worries about self-esteem, loneliness and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses clear exercises and steps to reduce anxiety, panic and unhelpful thoughts, and helps with sleep, mood and coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will listen to your needs, discuss options and adapt methods so they match your goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see non-verbal cues and maintain a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and more frequent written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
