About Kathryn Maddy-Powell

Kathryn Maddy-Powell is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with more than seven years of experience across paid and voluntary roles supporting people through deeply challenging moments in life. She has particular experience working with women and their partners after the permanent removal of a child, in suicide prevention and postvention, and in helping people process grief, loss, and traumatic experiences.

Kathryn is known for a calm, non-judgemental presence and for attending to both spoken and unspoken needs, creating a comfortable environment where trust can develop. Her practice takes an integrative route, selecting therapeutic methods that match each person’s situation, drawing on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Relational, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and existential approaches. CBT is used to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact to support practical change.

Her clinical work includes supporting bereavement related to suicide or dementia, addressing stress, anxiety, depression, and working with complex trauma. Kathryn holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her approach aims to help clients find clarity and resilience while navigating difficult transitions and losses.

Many people ask whether remote therapy can make a meaningful difference. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes - online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the way of connecting that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to continue work during transitions.

Licensed professionals and therapists offer these different formats, and clients may switch therapists if they would prefer a different fit. Online therapy provides an accessible option for many who want consistent therapeutic support without changing the core aims or methods of treatment.
