About Seaneen

Seaneen Madden is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, and parenting concerns. She meets clients with respect and compassion and aims to adapt conversations to each person's needs.

Her approach is pragmatic and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around what a client wants to change and how they prefer to work. She combines conversational listening with practical steps that can be tried between meetings.

Background and approach

Seaneen draws on several psychological approaches to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work and guides the pace of change.

She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotion regulation and grounding, and explores deeper meaning with existential and Jungian ideas when that fits the client's aims. These methods are used selectively to meet practical goals, not as fixed rules. People contact her about grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep or eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and life transitions.

She also supports those dealing with ADHD, attachment or abandonment issues, blended family tensions and caregiver stress. Sessions can be arranged by following the site's sign-up process and matching steps. The focus in early meetings is on understanding immediate concerns and planning manageable first steps.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a non-judgemental space where the client sets the pace. It is useful for parents and adults who need someone to hear their concerns and help them make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and then try different ways of thinking or acting. It suits practical issues such as anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and stress.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping. Elements of DBT can be helpful for anger, regulation difficulties and periods of high stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might help, then adapt the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals and can fit into busy lives. Video calls let people have a more conversational session with visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging give flexibility for brief exchanges, journalling-style updates and ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside parenting and work commitments.
