About Katie
Katie Bifulco is a counsellor and an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Her practice also addresses relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief and codependency concerns.
Katie uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's views at the centre of sessions. She listens and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions are straightforward and focus on practical ways to manage feeling overwhelmed and on improving day-to-day coping.
She also brings elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to support emotion regulation and managing strong feelings. That can help when people struggle with anger, impulsive behaviour, or mood swings associated with bipolar experiences.
Psychodynamic ideas inform her work on patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. This can help people understand why they keep reacting in the same ways and find alternatives that are less draining.
Katie has worked with people affected by neurodiversity, including autism spectrum conditions and ADHD, and has supported those dealing with pregnancy loss, infertility, menopause-related issues, and major life changes such as redundancy or retirement. Her background includes helping with carer stress, chronic illness, and bereavement.
She accepts international clients and offers an initial way to connect through an online matching process and scheduling system. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire before booking a first session.
How sessions work
How Katie uses core approaches online
Client-centred work focuses on what the person brings into sessions and follows their priorities. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on listening, reflecting back what is happening, and helping people decide small, practical next steps. It suits people who need a straightforward space to talk through what is worrying them.Dialectical behaviour therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Delivered online, these skills can be practised between sessions and used for issues such as anger, mood swings, self-soothing, and coping under stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Katie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences and will adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they remove travel time, can fit into a lunch break, or allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. Others prefer longer appointments to work through deeper issues. Discussing practical arrangements during the matching questionnaire helps make sessions fit everyday life.
