About Kathryn Maddy-Powell

Kathryn Maddy-Powell is an experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with over seven years of clinical practice supporting people through some of life’s most difficult moments. She has particular experience working with women and their partners after the permanent removal of a child, and with individuals affected by suicide through prevention and postvention work. Her practice also focuses on grief, loss, and complex trauma alongside more common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and bereavement related to dementia.

Kathryn is known for a calm, non-judgemental presence and a careful attention to both spoken and unspoken experience. She aims to create a comfortable space in which trust can develop and clients can explore painful or confusing feelings. Working in an integrative way, she draws on a range of therapeutic perspectives to suit each person’s needs, including Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Relational, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and existential approaches. This flexibility allows her to tailor support for issues such as complex trauma, bereavement, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and coping with major life changes.

She holds BACP membership, which indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and offers a supportive, attentive approach to help clients move toward greater clarity and coping in the face of adversity.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a non-judgemental space where clients can explore feelings and gain self-awareness; it is often helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief, and relational difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to distress and using practical strategies to develop different ways of coping, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and relationships, offering a route to deeper understanding of long-standing issues such as complex trauma and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathryn collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines perspectives where appropriate so that therapy feels personalised and relevant.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access support from home or work and offer flexibility in scheduling. These options allow registered professionals to meet clients where they are, accommodate differing communication styles, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
