Katy YeatesNCPS

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, grief and low mood. She supports adults dealing with relationship issues, confidence struggles, overwhelm and major life changes. Katy has seven years of experience in counselling and works alongside people who are trying to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Her style is warm, calm and compassionate. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs right now - sometimes that means a space to talk, sometimes practical tools, and sometimes clear steps to move forward. Katy blends practical techniques with a gentle listening approach.

She uses methods that focus on thoughts, emotions and relationships to help people find new ways of responding to old problems. Work can include learning skills for emotional regulation, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and building more helpful daily routines. This helps with issues like sleep, self-esteem, anger and coping with life changes.

Katy also supports people with more complex concerns such as trauma and abuse, addiction issues, ADHD and long-term health challenges. She pays attention to how past attachments and current relationships affect wellbeing, and she helps people develop clearer communication and boundaries.

Beginning therapy can feel hard, and Katy aims to make the first steps straightforward. She offers a calm space to talk things through, explores what matters most to each person, and agrees practical next steps together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice the thoughts and feelings that get in the way and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and can help with relationship problems and difficulties trusting others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk with each person about their goals and needs, and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning makes it easier to test what helps in a few sessions and adjust as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote work lets them access support from home or between commitments while keeping therapy practical and focused.
