Katie Madden is a United Kingdom based therapist with six years of professional experience and a BACP credential, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to address the distinct needs and goals of the individual.

Katie works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, low self-esteem and confidence, depression, and the challenges that come with major life changes. She also supports people navigating relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related matters, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career transitions, and other areas such as attachment or blended family concerns.

Her practice blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed strategies to help clients build coping skills, regain motivation, and strengthen self-understanding. Katie emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify practical steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. She recognizes that reaching out for support takes courage and offers steady guidance through the process of change and recovery.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Katie combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support people facing a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the individual’s perspective, offering empathetic listening and a nonjudgmental space to explore feelings and values; it can be especially helpful for building self-awareness, self-esteem, and trust in the therapy relationship. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, providing practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, panic, and difficulties with coping and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and invites clients to give feedback so the plan evolves in line with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Katie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing greater flexibility for scheduling and access from home or work. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions during busy routines, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each stage of the therapeutic process.
