Katherine Gentry-Coyne, BACP

Katherine Gentry-Coyne is a qualified therapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She brings focused experience supporting people through bereavement, having worked professionally in that field for three years, alongside seven years of work with children and young people who have social, emotional and behavioural needs and their families.

Her practice concentrates on common areas of concern such as stress, anxiety, grief and loss, eating difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. Katherine uses a client-centered approach that encourages individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace while feeling respected and heard. She aims to help people rebuild motivation, strengthen self-confidence and find practical ways to cope with challenging life events.

Katherine creates an open and nonjudgmental environment where clients can share honestly and be met with empathy and professional support. She works collaboratively with each person to understand their goals and to tailor sessions in a way that supports real progress over time.

Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Katherine practices client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a warm, accepting space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding. This approach supports people working through bereavement, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression by helping them explore their feelings and find their own solutions.

She also adapts client-centered principles to address practical struggles such as stress, eating difficulties and motivation, helping clients build confidence and coping strategies through reflective conversation and collaborative goal-setting.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Katherine works together with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She takes a collaborative stance, checking in about progress and adjusting the style of sessions so the work feels relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, to continue support during transitions, and to connect from different locations, including for international clients. Katherine uses these formats to maintain consistency of care while tailoring each session to the client’s preferred way of working.
