About Katy
Counsellor Katy Yeates is a member of NCPS with seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on anxiety, stress, relationship issues, grief, low mood and major life changes. Katy also supports people with confidence struggles, parenting concerns, addictions and ADHD related difficulties.
Katy keeps sessions straightforward. She offers time to talk and space for feeling heard. She also introduces practical tools and steps when they help. Sessions are shaped around what the person needs from week to week.
Her work draws on well‑known approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Attachment‑based ideas and client‑centred ways of working also inform how she listens and responds. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques may be used for skills around emotion regulation and coping.
People often come for help with sleep, eating, career stress or coping after loss. Katy also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, chronic illness, body image and communication problems. She will talk through what matters most and agree practical next steps together.
Katy describes herself as calm and patient in sessions. She aims for clear, manageable actions alongside open listening. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to you. It can help when anxiety, avoidance or low mood keep someone from doing what they value.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and steps to change patterns that keep problems going, such as unhelpful thinking or disrupted sleep.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will use conversation and simple exercises to decide together what helps most. She will check in about what is working and change the focus if needed, so sessions match a person’s current goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut out travel time and allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed. They can also be useful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs lower bandwidth for a call. Registered or accredited professionals typically discuss practical arrangements during booking and at the first session.
