Katy Raven, BACP, NCPS

Katy Raven supports people who are beginning a therapy journey with sensitivity and clear intention. She focuses on clients’ needs and goals, working collaboratively to explore what is most important to each individual and to learn together as therapy progresses. The pace of work is always determined by the person seeking help, and Katy adapts session style and structure to how someone is feeling on the day - offering kindness, steady support, and a space in which thoughts and emotions can be explored.

She has experience working with complex issues and distress, including anxiety and depression, difficult or complicated relationships, abuse and trauma, grief and loss, self-harm, and thoughts of suicide. As a pluralistic counsellor she blends different methods while drawing on person-centred skills - helping clients investigate past experiences and understand how those experiences influence current patterns. She also looks at behaviours and thought patterns with the aim of resolving ongoing challenges.

Katy holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating professional training and recognised qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy. She emphasises the importance of a strong therapeutic connection and aims to offer attentive listening and practical support so clients can better understand their needs and how to meet them.
