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 challenges and major life transitions. She works with a broad range of concerns, from everyday pressure and self-esteem issues to deeper experiences of trauma, loss and change, always focusing on practical ways to help clients feel steadier and more able to cope.

Her therapeutic style is warm, calm and compassionate, and she adapts each session to the individual needs of the person she is working with. Some sessions provide open space to talk and process emotions, while others focus on practical tools or clear, step-by-step plans to move forward. This flexible approach helps people find the balance between understanding their experience and taking actionable steps toward change.

Katy holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential, and offers a supportive, client-focused environment where adults can explore challenges and build skills for coping and recovery. She is currently accepting clients in the United Kingdom and provides sessions tailored to each person’s goals and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Katy draws on several established approaches to tailor online work to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focuses on identifying personal values to guide meaningful action; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections, which can help with relationship difficulties, trust and emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the process, offering empathetic, non-judgmental listening and allowing clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and Katy collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan evolves with the client’s progress and comfort.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs. These options support regular contact, allow for different styles of communication, and help people access therapy from their own environment while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
