Seaneen Madden
Supportive counsellor helping with stress and relationships
About Seaneen
Seaneen Madden is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addiction patterns, grief and trauma.
Her approach is warm and respectful. Conversations are shaped around what matters to each person. She adapts sessions to suit different needs and preferences rather than using one fixed method.
Background and approach
Seaneen draws on several well-known therapeutic styles. She uses client-centred work to build trust and focus on the person's own goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques help break unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills offer tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. She also integrates elements of existential and Jungian thinking when it fits the client’s concerns. This can help people explore meaning, identity and deeper personal themes alongside practical coping skills.
People might come for help with sleep and eating problems, anger or low self-esteem. Seaneen also supports those facing major life events such as divorce, caregiving stress, serious illness, or recovery after domestic violence. Sessions are conducted in English and arranged to meet the individual’s pace.
When someone is ready to begin, she listens first and then builds a plan together. The work aims to be steady and practical while acknowledging the emotional side of change.

Sessions & fees
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Seaneen commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy as part of her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening, building trust and following the person's own priorities so sessions feel collaborative and person-led. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying practical exercises to change them.She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills when helpful, teaching concrete techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving communication. The choice of approach is not fixed; Seaneen will work with the person to find what fits best based on their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick exchanges and text messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and to continue between in-person commitments when needed.
