About Katy

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor (NCPS) with seven years of experience supporting adults. She helps people dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship problems, low mood, grief, confidence issues and big life changes.

Katy listens and adapts to what a person needs in the moment. Some sessions are mostly talking. Others include practical tools and clear steps to try between meetings. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day pressures.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. These include sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, addictions, codependency, ADHD and coping with chronic illness. She also supports people facing separation, bereavement, or workplace and career stress.

Katy draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and actions. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns are a focus. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used where emotional regulation is needed.

Sessions are adjusted to what each person finds helpful. Some people focus on short-term goals and skills. Others use a more reflective pace to understand patterns that keep repeating. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It supports taking small actions in line with personal values rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationship experiences shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will discuss different methods with the client and together they will decide what fits best for the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a few techniques to see what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to offer practical tools and step-by-step skills that people can practice between meetings.
