Katy Yeates

Katy Yeates is a counsellor who supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship concerns. She also helps people facing overwhelm, confidence struggles, addictions and major life changes. Katy’s tone is warm and calm, and she aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.

She uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on what each person needs in the moment. Sessions can include space to talk, practical tools to cope day to day, or clear steps to move forward. Katy balances listening with actionable strategies so people leave feeling steadier.

Her background includes seven years of practice in the United Kingdom and she holds the NCPS credential. That experience informs how she supports issues from sleep and eating problems to parenting strain and workplace stress. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue and chronic illness.

Katy draws on several therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work and some dialectical and client-centred techniques. She adapts her methods to fit each person rather than using one fixed style.

Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process. The first steps involve a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session according to availability. Katy focuses on helping people feel more supported, clearer about next steps, and better able to cope with everyday challenges.

How Katy’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thinking and behaviour and practising small changes to reduce distress. It often helps with anxiety, sleep and eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and can help with trust, intimacy and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katy will discuss what matters to the client and try different methods to find what fits best. This is a collaborative process where goals and preferences shape whether more practical tools or reflective work is used.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering sessions when leaving home is difficult. Many people find virtual sessions let them keep continuity of care while juggling work, parenting or other commitments.
