Counselling in London
Sometimes it may feel as though patterns are being repeated over and over again and each time you find yourself surprised at reaching the same result. However, people are in constant motion and I hold to the notion that therapy enables self reflection and transformation driving along the process of change. In practice, I will try to ensure you experience a sense of safety in the space for us to better explore your way of being in the world and consider the importance of relationships and memory which are a transformative and pivotal part of what it is you bring to the work and are encouraged to share

You may have a specific reason for considering counselling, or you may have a sense that things do not feel right without being able to articulate why. Making the decision to start counselling can bring many emotions including fear, excitement, anxiety, relief and this is completely normal.

Contacting a therapist might seem daunting at first but therapy can provide a confidential and non-judgemental space to make sense of current concerns. Speaking in confidence can help you less burdened and enable you to work towards living a more fulfilling life.

The fact that you're here suggests a curiosity and a need to find someone to listen and to help you think about your current situation. It takes courage to reach out and connect with someone unknown to talk about feelings and emotions. Therapy offers a safe space to do so where you are met with warmth and empathy. I offer a comfortable non-judgemental confidential space where we can work together to make things better by making sense of your experiences.

Are you experiencing difficulties and challenges in your life, feeling confused or overwhelmed? We can all experience difficulties and challenges and you may now be feeling confused or overwhelmed by what is going on in your life and not be able to see a way through. In the past you may have been able to resolve your issue on your own or turned to family or friends but perhaps, now, these supports are not available. At times like these it can be helpful to talk to a professional who will provide a confidential space, listen non-judgementally and have the experience to support you explore your thoughts, behaviours and feelings.

Central to my therapeutic approach is the belief that the solutions to life’s challenges lie within us, not outside. By learning to love and accept ourselves as we are, we can develop greater empathy for others, improve our relationships, and create the life we desire. I believe that most people can benefit from therapy, as it provides a space where you can freely express yourself without the worry of upsetting friends or family. In therapy, you can discuss your issues with someone who will not judge you or dictate your actions, allowing you to explore your options and make choices.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. The key to my work with clients is the belief that through a psychotherapeutic relationship we can gain insights into our patterns of behaviour. By working relationally we can also explore the possibility for change and begin to think of alternative positions that can lead toward a more compassionate and fulfilled version of ourselves. I have completed the training as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist at The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis. UKCP Member.

Hello and welcome. My name is Katherine Coates and I am a qualified Person Centred therapist. My journey to become a qualified counsellor started after I entered therapy myself so am well aware of how terrifying taking the first steps in asking for help can be. Therefore, I aim to offer a safe space where you feel accepted and valued enough that you can reveal your vulnerabilities without fear of judgement.

We all have times in our lives where we might be experiencing conflict, or unhappiness. You might need help having experienced trauma, grief, loss, with conflicts in beliefs, ideas/ ways of parenting, or struggles we can have with unsupportive families . You might need help with freedom from shame, stress, have problems with trust, anger, conflict or rejection, help as a couple to communicate or as a parent. Most people I work with want to be loved or understood, to have agency, to have (and give) attention, to have freedom, to create, to belong, to win or to connect. Wherever you're at, we can work together towards your goals.

My ideal client is one that recognises that they do not have to deal with life alone. Understanding the strength in seeking guidance and support from therapy is where the work begins and it allows the creation of a safe space to think about you. One way I work is to help build an individual’s sense of self that allows them to acknowledge their own needs and helps them navigate life and its difficulties. I have experience working with diverse groups whether that be in age or culture and have worked with a variety of issues.

The type of clients I tend to work with are those who are looking for help around anxiety disorders (including OCD/BDD), psychosexual (such as vaginismus, erectile dysfunction etc), work-related anxiety, health anxiety (such as cancer, major trauma), work-related anxiety. I also work with clients who have some difficulties with interpersonal relationships and bereavement. My clients' goals are often centred around their values, and this is something we discuss in the first couple of sessions. Often, people come to me because they would like to build a life worth living in line with what is important to them.
