About Katherine

Katherine Coates is a therapist credentialed with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, who brings six years of clinical therapy experience alongside twenty years of work in the substance use field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and the impact of trauma and abuse, shaping conversations and care around each person's needs. Katherine approaches clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts dialogue and treatment plans to address issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-worth and sexuality, women's concerns, and workplace challenges.

Katherine emphasizes practical support and clear collaboration, helping clients to identify goals and develop strategies that fit their life circumstances. She recognizes that starting therapy can take courage and acknowledges that step while offering steady encouragement and professional guidance as the work unfolds. Her combined background in substance use and therapeutic practice informs a tailored, evidence-minded approach aimed at meeting each client's unique situation and priorities.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Katherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and focused. Cognitive and behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop coping strategies for stress, anxiety, panic, and workplace pressures, offering concrete tools to change reactions and behaviors. Trauma-informed approaches recognize the lasting effects of abuse and traumatic events and prioritize safety, pacing, and stabilization while helping clients process difficult experiences in ways that reduce retraumatization and support recovery.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Katherine works collaboratively with each person to explore what feels most useful, adjusting methods to match their needs, goals, and preferences so the work fits their life and priorities.

Online therapy delivers those approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support when scheduling or travel is a barrier. These options provide flexibility for clients to engage in therapy from home or other environments, maintain momentum between sessions, and use modalities that suit their communication style while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to evidence-informed practice.
