About Katie

Katie Bifulco is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of practice in private work. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression among the concerns she works with. Katie also notes experience supporting people with ADHD and relationship or parenting pressures.

Katie practises from a person-centred standpoint, which means she listens and follows what the client brings to sessions. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques and psychodynamic ideas when they seem helpful. Solution-focused tools are used to identify practical steps and short-term goals.

Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about. Katie has worked with people facing bereavement, redundancy, illness, fertility and pregnancy-related issues, and menopause concerns. She has also worked with people on the autistic spectrum and with emotional regulation difficulties linked to borderline personality presentations.

Her approach emphasises clear, straightforward discussion and practical coping ideas alongside exploration of patterns from the past. Katie notes experience with grief, anger, career questions, bipolar concerns, and managing life changes. She mentions coaching and support for compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

Katie accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To start, the site prompts a short matching questionnaire and scheduling of a first session, typically organised through the platform's booking flow.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's concerns, helping them feel heard and able to talk through difficult topics. It suits people who need time to reflect and to be guided by their own priorities.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. Those who struggle with strong emotions or relationship patterns often find DBT tools useful alongside conversational work.

Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns shaped by past relationships and how these show up now. This can help people understand why certain situations feel hard and reduce repeated difficulties over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and needs and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions emphasise skills, short-term steps or exploring longer-standing patterns.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a busy day, or allowing a phone call when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency with their therapy commitments.
