Katy Yeates, NCPS

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low mood and major life changes. She works with people dealing with relationship difficulties, confidence struggles, overwhelm and practical problems such as sleep and eating concerns. Katy also helps those coping with long-term health challenges, addiction issues and ADHD. She brings seven years of experience to each session and holds the NCPS credential.

Katy aims to make the first step easier. Her manner is warm, calm and compassionate. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs in the moment, whether that is space to talk, emotional steadiness or practical steps to move forward.

Her style leans towards collaborative work. She listens carefully, reflects what she hears and offers straightforward tools people can try between sessions. Katy adapts techniques from well-known approaches to match each person’s goals.

Practical problems such as sleep, eating and managing stress are treated alongside emotional issues like grief and low self-esteem. Katy pays attention to how physical health and long-term conditions affect mood and daily life, and she supports clients to find manageable ways to cope.

People who value a calm, steady presence often find this approach helpful. Sessions focus on small, clear changes as well as the bigger picture. Katy encourages realistic goals and checks in on progress as work continues.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and everyday coping

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with chronic health issues by building flexible ways to live with difficult sensations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and then tests practical changes to reduce distress and improve routines like sleep and eating. It is useful for anxiety, depression and many stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in adult relationships, and can be helpful when communication or trust issues are core concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and then try methods that suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where tools and pace are agreed together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit work and family life, as sessions can be easier to schedule and remove travel time. Online work can also make using short check-ins or practical exercises between sessions simpler, and it allows focus on strategies that can be used in day-to-day routines.
