About Kathryn

Kathryn Maddy-Powell is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with 7 years of professional practice in paid and voluntary roles. She has supported people through some of life’s most difficult experiences, including work with women and partners after the permanent removal of a child, suicide prevention and postvention, and those navigating grief, loss, and trauma.

Her practice is characterised by a calm, non-judgemental presence and a careful attunement to both what is said and what remains unspoken, creating a comfortable space in which trust can develop. Kathryn draws on a flexible, integrative approach and selects therapeutic methods to suit each person’s needs, using Person-Centred (also known as Client-Centred), Psychodynamic, Relational, Cognitive Behavioral, and Existential perspectives as appropriate.

Her experience encompasses bereavement following suicide or dementia, complex trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and other life disruptions. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and uses her varied clinical tools to help people explore coping strategies, relationships, and meaning in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kathryn commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy in her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental environment where a person’s own insights and strengths are central to change - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships, which can be useful when working with complex trauma, grief, or repetitive relationship difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Kathryn works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the approach as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, or mobility needs and allow ongoing care when in-person meetings are not possible, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
