About Katherine
Katherine Coates is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety and addictions. She also supports clients dealing with LGBT matters and the effects of trauma and abuse. Katherine uses a respectful and compassionate style to make it easier to begin difficult conversations.
She encourages a practical, tailored plan that fits each person’s situation. She holds BACP registration, which means she meets the professional standards set out by that body.
Background and approach
Katherine has six years of experience as a therapist and has worked in the substance use field for two decades alongside her clinical practice. That background gives her practical insight into addiction-related concerns and how they affect daily life. In sessions she adapts the way she talks and works to match each person’s needs and goals.
She aims to be clear and direct about options, while remaining sensitive to personal history and identity. People can expect a straightforward conversation about what they want to change and small steps to get there. Katherine describes the first step of starting therapy as an act of courage.
She will help set goals and revisit them as progress is made. Her approach is collaborative, and she adjusts the plan as situations evolve. She supports clients in English and accepts international enquiries.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Katherine works online
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your needs, preferences and goals, and suggest techniques that seem likely to help. That plan can be reviewed and adjusted as you notice what feels useful and what does not.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make attendance possible across regions since international enquiries are accepted. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm which options are offered before booking so you can pick what suits your schedule and comfort.
