Seaneen Madden, BACP

Seaneen Madden works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has nine years of professional experience. She aims to offer straightforward, respectful support to people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Seaneen speaks English and brings a calm, attentive presence to sessions.

She helps people with stress and anxiety, depression, and difficulties at work or in relationships. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating or sleeping problems, and the challenges of major life change. Parents and carers can find support for parenting strain and caregiver stress.

Seaneen uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. That can mean working on unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills, or focusing on deeper life meaning and personal patterns. She adapts the way she works to each person rather than following one fixed method.

Sessions may involve talking through current problems, trying concrete strategies to manage symptoms, and looking at how past experiences shape present reactions. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems and issues linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

People who choose Seaneen can expect an empathetic, non-judgemental space to explore their concerns. She will discuss goals and practical next steps so therapy stays relevant to everyday life and manageable alongside other responsibilities.

Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life

Seaneen uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy in her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following a person's pace to build trust and clarity; it helps when someone needs an empathetic space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical behaviour therapy offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and better communication, which can help with intense emotions, anger or relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and needs and recommend techniques that fit. That means sessions can change over time, mixing strategies and exploration so the plan stays relevant to what you want to achieve.

Online therapy with Seaneen is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you see non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility so therapy can work around work, family and daily demands.
