About Katie
Katie Bifulco is a counsellor and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years' experience working in private practice. She helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and life changes, and she lists young adult issues among her focus areas.
Katie uses a person-centred approach that keeps the conversation focused on the client's experience. She also draws on dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) skills and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the client's needs. That means sessions can include talking things through, looking at patterns from the past, and practising specific coping skills.
Clients come to Katie for a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD and autism spectrum issues, grief and bereavement, relationship and family matters, parenting strain, career uncertainty and coping with life transitions such as redundancy or retirement. She also works with people facing chronic illness, cancer-related stress, and bereavement after baby loss.
When someone is feeling stuck, Katie aims to create a steady way to clarify next steps. She uses short, focused conversations as well as longer reflective work, depending on what the person needs. Practical tools such as emotion regulation skills can be introduced alongside deeper discussion about attachment and recurring patterns.
Katie accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Her practice operates by subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Katie’s approaches translate to online sessions
Kat ie uses person-centred work alongside DBT skills and psychodynamic ideas to help people facing stress, anxiety and major life changes. Person-centred work means the session focuses on what the client brings that week and follows their pace. DBT skills offer concrete techniques for managing emotion and distress, useful for issues like anger, self-regulation and relationship conflict. Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and past influences that may still affect day-to-day choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each client to decide what to try first, reviewing what helps and adjusting plans as needed. The focus is on matching methods to the client’s goals and practical needs rather than sticking to one style.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around study, work and travel. Online meetings can make it easier to have short check-ins between busy days, avoid travel time and use written follow-ups where helpful. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you through options and help arrange a first online session that fits your routine.
