Katie Bifulco is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She focuses on helping people feel heard and supported as they face stress, anxiety, depression and other life challenges. Katie uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people find steps forward.

Katie has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom and is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She sees people dealing with grief, parenting strains, relationship problems, and major life changes such as redundancy, illness or retirement.

Her work includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood difficulties, ADHD, and those on the autistic spectrum. Katie also helps people with body image and fertility-related concerns such as infertility, IVF, pregnancy loss and termination. She offers a calm space for those who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Katie draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's experience. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and psychodynamic thinking to help people understand patterns and develop coping skills. Solution-Focused techniques support practical steps and short-term goals.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Katie welcomes people who want to talk about career stress, compassion fatigue, anger, codependency and many related concerns. She works in English and is available to international clients via online formats.

Approaches for online counselling and practical support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and priorities to help them feel understood and to find their own solutions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication; it can help people manage intense emotions and reduce crisis reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a plan together. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and checking in about progress so the approach fits the person's needs.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quieter and easier when bandwidth is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical support and emotional coping.
