About Seaneen

Seaneen Madden is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She offers a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person. She emphasises practical support for people ready to make changes in their lives.

Her background includes work with stress and anxiety, relationship and family tensions, and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with depression, grief, addiction, sleep and eating struggles, anger, and career stress. Additional focus areas listed include codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and recovery from trauma and domestic violence.

In sessions she adapts to the individual rather than applying a fixed script. That means the way she talks and the techniques she uses depend on what the person brings and what they want to achieve. People looking for help with coping skills, clearer communication, or changes in daily routines may find this practical stance useful.

Seaneen draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. She uses client-centred methods to keep conversations focused on the person’s experience, alongside cognitive behavioural techniques for managing thoughts and behaviour, and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when emotion regulation is needed.

Her practice welcomes straightforward discussion about goals and next steps. The first sessions typically focus on establishing what matters most to the person and forming a simple plan to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the conversation and helps build understanding and trust. It can be helpful when someone needs a space to work through feelings and clarify what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful behaviour patterns.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful when someone needs clearer coping strategies for distressing moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may combine elements over time as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking. The therapist’s profile does not list specific formats here, so confirm whether video, phone or other arrangements are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family life, reduce travel, and sometimes allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation will help. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques used in face-to-face work to an online setting to keep progress moving forward.
