About Katherine
Katherine Coates is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns and trauma and abuse, and also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment, and guilt and shame.
She brings two decades of experience in the substance use field alongside her counselling work. That background informs practical conversations about addictive behaviours and coping strategies. Sessions focus on clear, ordinary language and achievable steps rather than technical jargon.
Katherine tailors talks and plans to each person. She asks what matters most and shapes sessions around those concerns. That can mean short-term work on panic and anxiety, or longer discussions about post-traumatic stress and unresolved shame.
Her approach includes attention to relationships, sexuality and issues women commonly raise at work and at home. She also helps people who feel isolated or stuck with impulsivity and self-worth problems. Katherine accepts international clients and works in English.
Clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session options and formats before booking to make sure they suit practical needs.
Approaches that help with guilt, trauma and anxiety
Evidence-based approaches often used for guilt, shame and trauma focus on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people name and track unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, then try small experiments to test different reactions. This kind of work suits panic, anxiety and daily stress because it concentrates on what changes in the moment. Another approach looks at how past attachments and losses shape current feelings. It helps when abandonment, relationship patterns or post-traumatic reactions are part of the problem by exploring those patterns in the present.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree together which to try first. That collaborative decision draws on the person’s goals, current struggles and what feels manageable week to week.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work or caregiving and reducing travel time. If you are considering remote work, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography did not list specific options. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep regular contact and make steady progress while fitting therapy into everyday life.
