About Katherine
Katherine Coates is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, and trauma and abuse. She also brings two decades of work in the substance use field to her therapeutic practice. Katherine speaks English and accepts international clients.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, cope with addictive behaviours, and process traumatic experiences. She focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs at the time.
Katherine has a long background around substance use, which informs how she talks about cravings, relapse triggers, and coping strategies. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. Work can include managing panic attacks, symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and feelings of isolation.
She pays attention to sexuality and women’s issues alongside workplace stress and self-worth. The emphasis is on straightforward discussion, building skills, and finding ways to use those skills in everyday life. That can mean short-term practical tools or longer-term exploration depending on the person’s priorities.

How evidence-based techniques are used online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to focus on clear, practical change. Cognitive-behavioural approaches look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teach skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks. Trauma-informed methods help people make sense of past harm and reduce its hold on daily life through paced processing and coping strategies.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the person. Sessions can shift over time as needs and priorities change, with the therapist and client checking what works and adjusting accordingly.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. It can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, reduce the need to travel, and let people access a practitioner who has particular experience with addictions and trauma even if they live elsewhere.
