Compassionate evidence-based therapy for anxiety and addiction
About Katherine
Katherine Coates is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and addiction. She works with clients on issues related to trauma and abuse and provides sensitive support for LGBT concerns. Katherine holds BACP accreditation and works from the United Kingdom.
Katherine brings six years of therapy experience alongside two decades of work in the substance use field. That background gives her practical insight into patterns of dependence and the social pressures that can feed them.
Background and approach
She draws on straightforward methods to help people recognise triggers and build healthier routines. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Katherine aims to create a respectful space where people can talk about guilt, shame, impulse control and feelings of isolation.
She also helps people who experience panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and difficulties tied to attachment and abandonment. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs. Katherine works collaboratively to set goals and adapt approaches as progress is made.
She pays attention to workplace stress, women’s issues, sexuality and the practical impacts of mental health in daily life. Starting therapy is described as a courageous move. Katherine will guide people through the early stages, helping them find steady routines, improve self-compassion and reduce distress over time.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Katherine uses clear evidence-based techniques to structure therapy in practical ways. One common approach focuses on teaching breathing and grounding skills, which can help reduce panic attacks and immediate anxiety. Another approach looks at patterns around addiction and impulsivity, helping people spot triggers and create step-by-step plans to manage cravings and risky behaviours. Finding the right approach is part of the process and Katherine works collaboratively to choose what fits. She will listen to a person’s goals and experiences, try methods that match those aims, and adjust plans as progress is made. This means the shape of therapy can change as needs evolve. Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer to write, need day-to-day support or want more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.| Session length | Typically 50 minutes |
