Katie Bifulco, BACP

Katie Bifulco offers a calm, person-centred style of counselling that focuses on understanding each person's experience. She uses a warm, listening approach to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what to do next. Katie makes space for emotions like grief, anxiety, low mood, and anger and helps people find clearer ways forward.

Katie works with practical issues such as work stress, career change, parenting strain, and major life transitions. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, bereavement, fertility and pregnancy-related difficulties, and menopause-related struggles. Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity and to the needs of people with ADHD or autism diagnoses.

Her way of working draws on client-centred counselling alongside elements from approaches such as dialectical behaviour therapy, psychodynamic ideas, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions tend to focus on what matters to the person and on simple tools to manage strong feelings and difficult situations. Katie aims to be straightforward and down-to-earth in sessions.

Katie has five years of private practice experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That registration reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online. People often begin by clarifying immediate concerns and setting small, practical goals. Katie encourages an open conversation about what will help most in therapy.

Approaches online that focus on practical change and understanding

Client-centred therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions and make sense of difficult feelings. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) offers clear skills for managing intense emotion and improving regulation, and can be useful for stress, anxiety and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katie will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match those aims. That collaboration means approaches can be adapted over time as priorities change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls suit in-depth conversations, phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
