About Kathryn
BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom, focusing on grief, trauma, stress and related mental health concerns. Kathryn Maddy-Powell supports people after bereavement and loss, and works with clients affected by complex trauma and life changes.
She has experience assisting women and partners after the permanent removal of a child, and in suicide prevention and postvention. Her work also covers bereavement linked to dementia, persistent anxiety, low mood and addiction-related problems.
Kathryn uses an integrative approach. That means she draws on several methods and chooses what fits each person. She references Person-Centred work, Psychodynamic and relational ideas, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and existential perspectives in her practice.
Sessions are focused on what the individual brings. Kathryn listens for both what is said and what is not said, and helps people talk through difficult emotions and decisions. Practical coping strategies and clearer ways of understanding patterns often form part of the work.
People meet a calm, non-judgemental presence who aims to build trust over time. The style is direct and steady rather than directive; Kathryn collaborates with clients to set goals and review progress.
She works in English and serves clients within the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.

How Kathryn’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred (Person-Centred) work focuses on listening and responding to the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions for issues such as grief or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It breaks problems into manageable steps and can help with anxiety, low mood and coping strategies for difficult situations.
Psychodynamic and existential ideas help people make sense of recurring patterns and questions about meaning. These approaches can be useful when someone wants to understand deeper roots of distress or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathryn will discuss different methods and agree on a plan based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change over time as issues evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, avoid travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote appointments to keep therapy accessible, but check which formats this counsellor offers when you arrange your first session.
