About Katie

Katie Bifulco is a person-centred counsellor who prioritises listening and understanding. She introduces a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard and think about what to try next. Katie uses straightforward language and gentle curiosity to help people find direction during stressful times.

She offers support for anxiety and depression, and for pregnancy-related concerns such as post-natal depression, baby loss, infertility or IVF struggles, and other issues connected to pregnancy and terminations. She also works with grief, major life changes like redundancy or retirement, and relationship difficulties. Katie notes experience with neurodiversity and attention difference, including autism spectrum conditions and ADHD.

Katie combines person-centred ways of working with elements from dialectical behaviour therapy and psychodynamic thinking. That means sessions can include close listening, practical strategies for managing intense emotions, and time to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices. She adapts her style to what each person needs in the moment.

She has five years of private practice experience and is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Katie describes herself as approachable and non-judgemental and says she aims to work at a pace that suits each person.

People who choose to contact her complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Katie welcomes conversations about goals and practical steps alongside emotional support during transitions and loss.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Person-centred counselling focuses on the person's own experience and on being listened to without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk about loss, pregnancy-related worries or feeling stuck, and online sessions allow that supportive conversation to happen from wherever the person is.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT informed work, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing unhelpful reactions. Delivered remotely, these ideas can be taught in short exercises and practiced between sessions to help with anxiety, anger or mood swings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to pace the work. This collaborative way of working helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the person day to day.

Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain continuity while they address grief, perinatal concerns, neurodiversity-related stress or major life changes.
