About Katy

Katy Yeates works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and major life changes, using practical tools and clear steps to help people feel steadier and more in control. She is a member of the NCPS and has seven years of experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Katy listens to what matters most to each person and adapts sessions to match that. Some sessions are conversational, offering space to talk. Others focus on practical techniques to manage overwhelming feelings and unhelpful thinking patterns.

She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These methods are applied in plain language and with direct, usable strategies that people can try between sessions.

Katy works with common and complex concerns including low mood, grief, coping with illness or chronic pain, addiction-related problems, eating and sleep issues, parenting strain, and difficulties around identity and self-esteem. She also supports people affected by trauma, domestic violence, separation and adoption or foster-care related challenges.

Sessions aim to identify small, manageable changes and build skills for managing stress, emotion regulation and communication. Katy encourages collaborative goal-setting and practical steps, while offering time to process difficult feelings. Her style is steady and focused on what helps someone day to day.

How Katy uses approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match what matters to them; it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how earlier relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling safer with others; this can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues and emotional regulation. Katy draws on these methods alongside client-centred listening to shape sessions around each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will discuss different methods and agree on the best fit based on the person’s goals, preferences and what feels useful in early sessions. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Formats for online sessions were not specified in the biography, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can continue sessions if they move within the UK, though international clients are not accepted according to the supplied information.
