Katy Yeates, NCPS

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor with seven years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, overwhelm, grief, low mood, confidence struggles and major life changes. She works with each person to understand their situation and to offer the mix of listening, practical tools and clear steps that best fit their needs.

Her style is warm, calm and compassionate, creating space for people to explore what matters to them while also introducing strategies to manage symptoms and move forward. Sessions are tailored to the individual - whether that means time to talk things through, skills-based work, or structured planning to regain a sense of control.

Katy holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification. She encourages clients to take the first step and supports them through the early stages of therapy, aiming to help them feel steadier, better supported and more able to manage day-to-day demands.

Evidence-informed approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and focuses on taking meaningful action in line with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and early bonds to improve connection and emotional regulation, making it a good fit for relationship difficulties, grief and issues linked to attachment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with low mood, anxiety and confidence struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Katy works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She combines listening with practical tools and adapts her style as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Katy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from home or elsewhere, allowing clients to continue therapy even when life is busy or circumstances change.
