  • So who am I? I began working as a therapist in 2013, originally in loss and bereavement, before going on to specialise in addiction. I set up my first private practice in 2015 based in London’s West End and built up a service based on the principle that therapy should be accessible to all without stigma. I had found it difficult to enter into counselling myself at times, for fear that who I was would be pathologised or taken away somehow. I wanted to change this.

    From my time as the therapist at AfterParty Service in East London, I carved my niche working with LGBTQ+ communities, sex worker and adult industry professionals, and party drugs. I’ve been lucky enough to speak across Europe on identity, trauma and substance use, publish academic journals and provide training for NHS, The Maudsley, British Psychological Society, HMPPS, Public Health England and John Moores University amongst others. I even had the opportunity to be one of the authors of the world first chemsex rehabilitation and recovery toolkit for The Ministry of Justice.

    I am accredited by the BACP and have advanced accreditation with Pink Therapy.

  • What can i expect from therapy?

    Have you ever tried to read a book pressed up to your face? When things are too close to home they can be hard to make sense of. Therapy offers a different perspective and fresh set of eyes (or ears) on things. I offer a space where you can talk, untangle and understand things better. Once you have figured out why things are happening, you can begin to make changes. I am here to listen, support and feedback to you, or sometimes even just give a place to get stuff off your chest.

    What is the process of setting up a therapy?

    First drop me an email and we can discuss availability. Once a time has been found that works we can set up a consultation so we can chat about if this the right therapy fit for you.

    Do i need to be completely free of drugs and alcohol?

    No. This is not an abstinence-based service, although I do ask that you have not had a drink or used anything before your sessions for safety. If you have concerns about your consumption though and want to reduce or completely stop, I have years of experience in this and a number of different approaches.

    How will sessions take place?

    Sessions will predominantly take place online via zoom. All you will need is screen and a space to talk where you feel safe and that you will have confidentiality. Sessions last for 50 minutes.

    Why do you have that fee?

    I offer a high standard of work and support, based in years of training and experience (both from working and living life!) so our prices reflect this. You are not only paying for the session but the time I spend between making sure that I am providing the best service.

  • “In my many years of therapy, having seen quite a few different counsellors with different styles, Katie Evans is by far the most intuitive, progressive, empathetic, and downright genius. She was able to fully understand my complicated situation and how it affected not only my well-being but also my ability to create. Through her guidance, which also saved my life, I was able to find my voice in the world again and for that I am eternally grateful. This woman is nothing short of a goddess.” - Client M

    “ Therapy with Katie was not only a critical healing process, it has increased my potential as an artist. My creativity and productivity has been greatly enhanced, allowing me to explore my work to greater depths. I wouldn’t simply recommend, in fact for any creative it’s absolutely essential.” - Client F
