About Katy

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low mood. She supports adults facing grief, overwhelm, big life changes, confidence struggles, and issues around eating, sleeping and parenting. Katy also works with concerns such as addiction, ADHD and codependency. She uses a calm, compassionate manner to help people feel steadier and more in control.

Katy’s style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are shaped around what someone needs that week. Some people come to talk things through, others want practical tools or clear steps to follow. Katy aims to strike a balance between listening and offering techniques that can be tried between meetings.

She draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These approaches help with worries, low mood, unhelpful patterns and relationship difficulties. Katy adapts methods to fit each person rather than following a fixed script.

With seven years of experience she is used to working with a wide range of everyday life problems. Katy describes herself as steady and compassionate in session. Her work focuses on helping people build useful habits, cope with tough feelings and take practical steps forward.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Katy encourages small first steps. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on personal values and take small steps even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful cycles; it is often used for worry, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship difficulties, trust and feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katy will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as work progresses to reflect what is most helpful.

Please check the available session options before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and can reduce time spent travelling. Many people find online sessions make it simpler to use practical tools between meetings and to keep therapy consistent during busy periods.
