About Katie
Katie Bifulco offers a person-centred way of working that focuses on the client’s experience and choices. She uses listening, reflection and collaborative conversation to help people find clarity when life feels hard. Katie is a BACP member which means she follows professional standards of practice.
Katie has five years in private practice and has supported people through anxiety and depression. She also works with those coping with loss, grief and major life changes such as redundancy, illness or retirement. Practical concerns like parenting strain, career questions and compassion fatigue are included in her work.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles alongside psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. Katie uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills where helpful to manage intense emotions and build coping tools. Sessions aim to be straightforward and geared to what the person wants to get from therapy.
Katie has experience with neurodiversity and has worked with people on the autistic spectrum and those with ADHD. She also has clinical interest in menopause-related difficulties, baby loss, infertility and post-natal depression. This experience informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s needs.
People who see Katie can expect a calm, patient approach and a focus on practical steps as well as understanding. She invites prospective clients to make initial contact to discuss what they want to work on and how therapy might fit into their life.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the conversation. Online sessions using this approach let the client set the pace and topics while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what matters most.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, emphasises practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. Delivered in a one-to-one format it can offer short skills practice, behaviour-focused strategies and exercises to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about the person’s goals and preferences and then try different ways of working to see what helps. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins about progress.
Check the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow more consistent appointments during life changes. Some people prefer shorter check-ins at work, while others value time to go deeper; the therapist will help arrange a pattern that fits everyday life.
