Dr Katherine Coutsoudis

Dr Katherine Coutsoudis is a Chartered Psychologist in London, specialising in the assessment and treatment of adult and adolescent mental health conditions at Schoen Clinic Chelsea. She is widely recognised for her clinical expertise in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and works with individuals experiencing a broad range of psychological difficulties, from anxiety and trauma to complex mood disorders.

Katherine is known for her thoughtful, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to therapy. She works closely with each patient to develop a clear understanding of their difficulties, helping them make sense of longstanding patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour, and supporting meaningful, sustainable change.

Specialist expertise in OCD and complex mental health needs

Dr Coutsoudis is considered an expert in the care and treatment of OCD, supporting individuals with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, rumination, and anxiety-driven avoidance. She has extensive experience working with both long-standing and newly emerging OCD presentations, tailoring treatment to each individual’s needs, severity, and personal goals.

Alongside OCD, Katherine regularly supports patients experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and adjustment difficulties, as well as those navigating relational stress, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

Therapeutic approach

Katherine’s clinical work is grounded primarily in Schema Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She offers both short-term, structured interventions and longer-term psychological therapy, depending on the complexity of the presentation and the individual’s preferences.

Her approach is integrative, compassionate, and pragmatic — supporting patients not only to reduce symptoms, but also to develop greater emotional insight, resilience, and healthier coping strategies over time.

She works with:

• Adults and adolescents

• Individuals seeking focused, goal-oriented therapy

• Those requiring longer-term support for complex or entrenched difficulties

Professional background

Prior to joining Schoen Clinic Chelsea, Dr Coutsoudis was part of the clinical team at The Priory, Roehampton, where she developed significant experience working across addiction services and forensic settings. This background has given her a strong understanding of risk, complexity, and the intersection between mental health, behaviour, and life circumstances.

Her work in these settings has shaped a calm, structured, and non-judgemental clinical style, particularly beneficial for individuals who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about engaging in therapy.
