About Katie
Katie Bifulco is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on helping people through difficult life moments. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Katie also supports those dealing with relationship strains, parenting pressures, career change and challenges linked to neurodiversity or hormonal life stages.
Katie uses a warm, listening style and aims to build understanding together. She draws on client-centred practice to prioritise each person’s experience and to encourage clearer thinking about next steps. She also brings tools from dialectical behaviour therapy and solution-focused work when practical coping skills are needed.
Her background includes five years in private practice and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That experience includes supporting people through bereavement, redundancy, fertility and pregnancy-related issues, and life transitions such as retirement or chronic illness.
Katie has worked with people who identify as autistic or who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and she has an interest in supporting women navigating the menopause. She has also worked with people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (emotionally unstable personality disorder) and uses DBT-informed skills in those cases.
People who contact Katie usually want a straightforward, non-judgemental space to talk and to find practical ways forward. To begin, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and then arrangements are made for scheduling based on availability.
How Katie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people make sense of their own experience. Online this means conversations aim to follow the person’s pace, with the counsellor reflecting what matters most and helping priorities become clearer.Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) in practice offers straightforward skills for managing strong emotions and improving routines. Delivered remotely, DBT-informed techniques can include coaching on emotional regulation, distress tolerance and practical coping strategies for daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Katie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Initial conversations can help identify whether a more reflective psychodynamic focus, skills-based DBT work, or solution-focused sessions are best suited to what someone wants to change.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also make skills practice between sessions simpler by using digital notes or reminders to support progress.
