About Katie

Katie Bifulco is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. She welcomes straightforward conversations and aims to create a calm space to talk through worries. Katie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Katie works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, life transitions, career change and parenting concerns.

Background and approach

Her practice includes helping people managing ADHD, trauma, anger, and compassion fatigue. She blends psychodynamic ideas with solution-focused work to look at past patterns and find practical next steps. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques may be used when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed.

Sessions aim to be practical and tailored to what each person says they need. Katie has five years' experience in independent practice across the United Kingdom. She has experience with clients who are on the autistic spectrum and with people affected by fertility, pregnancy loss and menopause-related struggles.

She also works with those facing chronic illness, caregiving strain and relationship breakdown. People can expect a conversational style that checks what is and is not helpful. Katie encourages small, manageable steps and focuses on what can change now.

She offers a clear, steady presence while clients work through difficult feelings and decisions.

Online support

How Katie's Approaches Work Online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and decide their own next steps, which can be useful for parenting stress, anxiety and low mood. DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping under pressure; this can be helpful when someone struggles with intense reactions or overwhelming stress.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Katie will discuss what you need, your goals and how you prefer to work, then adapt techniques from different approaches as appropriate. The aim is to find a working method that fits your situation rather than imposing one model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling-style reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, childcare and other commitments.
