About Katie

Katie Bifulco is a person-centred counsellor who listens without judgement and helps people find a way forward. She works in a calm, approachable manner and supports people through life changes, loss and times of uncertainty.

Katie draws on five years in private practice and brings a steady, practical style to sessions. She often helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem. She also works with those facing grief, redundancy, retirement, long-term illness and other transitions that can feel overwhelming.

Her background includes work with people on the autistic spectrum and those with ADHD. She has experience supporting people through pregnancy-related difficulties, baby loss and post-natal depression. Katie also has an interest in menopause-related struggles and caregiver stress.

Katie uses person-centred methods alongside psychodynamic ideas, solution-focused techniques and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In practice this means sessions often focus on what matters most to the individual and on building practical skills for coping day to day.

She is an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. Katie welcomes people who want a respectful, steady space to talk and to explore what helps them move forward.

How Katie's approaches translate to online counselling

Katie works from a person-centred base which puts the client's experience first. That means sessions focus on listening, understanding where someone is now, and helping them name what matters. This approach is useful for people facing grief, life transitions and age-related concerns where being heard is the priority.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, which teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. DBT techniques can be helpful for stress, mood swings and emotional overwhelm. Finally, Katie draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals so people can see progress between sessions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Conversations early on help shape whether sessions emphasise listening, skills practice or short-term goal work.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm available session types before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, care duties or mobility limits, and they can reduce travel time. Others prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is not practical. Discussing practical arrangements helps make therapy work around everyday life.
