About Katy
Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who supports adults with stress, anxiety, grief, low mood and relationship issues. She also works with people facing overwhelm, confidence struggles, addictions, ADHD and major life changes. Her first aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with day-to-day pressures.
She creates a warm, calm and compassionate space. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs in the moment. That can mean having room to talk things through, learning practical tools, or setting clear steps to move forward.
Background and approach
Katy blends several widely used approaches to match a person's situation. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Attachment-based ideas are used where relationship patterns and early experiences are relevant. Work is collaborative and paced to the individual. Katy encourages small, manageable changes and offers grounding techniques for anxiety and distress.
She also helps with sleep, eating concerns and parenting strain by focusing on simple, practical strategies. With seven years of practice and NCPS on her profile, Katy brings steady support without hurry. Sessions can be scheduled by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a convenient time.
The emphasis is on approachable help that fits into everyday life.
Approaches that suit remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when anxiety, low mood or uncertainty make deciding or moving forward hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small changes to behaviour. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems and breaking patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional reactions, which can be helpful for people working on relationship or trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk through your concerns and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The choice is collaborative, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made or needs shift.
Online work offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions are useful when internet bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, writing through feelings, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practise tools between sessions.
