About Katherine

Katherine Gentry-Coyne helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, low self-esteem and depression. She is named at the start so readers know who they will meet. Katherine holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often abbreviated to BACP, which is noted on her profile.

Katherine keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. She aims to build an open atmosphere where clients can talk about difficult things without fear of judgment.

02

How Katherine works

Conversations are paced to suit each person, with attention to what feels most helpful in the moment. Her background includes several years supporting those affected by bereavement. She also has experience working with children and young people who have social, emotional and behavioural needs, and has supported their families in those contexts.

Those roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of working with worry and loss. In appointments she listens first and then works together with the person to find helpful ways forward. That might mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, building confidence, or finding practical steps to manage overwhelming feelings.

Katherine tailors the approach to everyday life and what the person wants to achieve. Sessions are conversational and steady. People who prefer a calm, patient listener and simple tools to try between meetings often find this style useful.

Katherine brings a respectful, non-judgemental presence to each conversation.

Online support options

Client-centred support delivered online

Katherine uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's own experience. Sessions start with listening and understanding, then move at a pace the person prefers. This approach is often helpful for problems such as anxiety, low self-esteem, and grief because it centres the person's priorities and feelings rather than imposing fixed techniques.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Katherine will discuss different options and work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful. Goals, preferences and day-to-day realities guide how sessions are shaped and what to try between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone sessions can suit people who need shorter, lower-bandwidth check-ins, and messaging allows brief updates or reflective exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and geographical distance while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
