About Katie

Katie Bifulco works with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and life changes using a person-centred approach. She is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years' experience in private practice.

Katie offers a calm, listening-based way of working that focuses on what matters to the individual. Sessions concentrate on the person's experience and goals, helping them to make practical changes or understand patterns that keep causing distress. She combines client-centred ways of working with elements from dialectical behaviour therapy, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused practice where useful.

Her practice includes support for people facing bereavement and grief, parenting stresses, career or redundancy-related issues, and life transitions such as retirement or illness. She also works with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she mentions are ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, body image and relationship communication problems.

Katie has experience supporting people after pregnancy loss, with post-natal depression and fertility-related distress, and she has an interest in working with women experiencing the menopause. She has worked with people diagnosed with personality difficulties and describes herself as a DBT practitioner in addition to person-centred work.

Sessions are offered in English and Katie accepts international clients. Her profile describes a straightforward online matching process to start working together, with a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Katie’s therapeutic approaches work online

Katie combines person-centred counselling with elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and solution-focused work. Person-centred counselling concentrates on the client’s concerns and aims, using listening and reflection to help people understand their feelings and choices. DBT provides practical skills for managing strong emotions and reducing harmful coping, which can help with anger, anxiety and some relationship patterns. Solution-focused work looks at small, achievable steps and what changes would make a real difference in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Katie will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she may combine techniques across sessions as needs change.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list formats in detail. Online work can make brief check-ins or focused skill-practice easier to arrange around work or caring commitments, and it allows ongoing appointments when life events make in-person attendance difficult.
