Katie Bifulco , BACP

Katie Bifulco is a person-centred therapist and accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) who brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to her practice. She recognises how difficult it can feel to ask for help when life becomes overwhelming and aims to create a respectful space where people can explore concerns at their own pace.

Katie works with adults facing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression and trauma-related struggles, as well as challenges that affect everyday functioning such as ADHD and difficulties on the autistic spectrum. She has experience supporting people through loss and bereavement, life transitions like redundancy, illness and retirement, and relationship or family concerns. Her practice also includes work with post-natal depression, baby loss, infertility and other pregnancy-related issues.

As a practitioner trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and grounded in a humanistic, client-centred approach, Katie supports clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotion, or uncertain about next steps. She has experience working with individuals who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and uses DBT skills where helpful. Katie has maintained a private practice for five years and welcomes inquiries from people seeking thoughtful, compassionate support.

Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Support

Katie uses a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of therapy - this style emphasizes empathy, respect and listening so individuals can explore their feelings and goals at a comfortable pace. It is often helpful for people facing anxiety, depression or transitions who want a supportive, non-directive space to make sense of their experience.

She is also trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and reducing harmful behaviours. DBT can be particularly useful for people who struggle with emotional regulation or patterns that repeat across relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Katie works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative exploration may draw on different techniques over time so the therapy stays focused and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, enabling people to attend sessions from home or while managing work and family commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals even when schedules or geography might otherwise get in the way.
