Katy Yeates

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who supports adults with stress, anxiety, anger and other concerns. She works with people facing grief, low mood, relationship tensions, overwhelm, and big life changes. Katy aims to help clients feel steadier and more able to cope.

She uses a calm and compassionate style in sessions. Katy adapts each meeting to what the person needs in that moment. Sometimes that means time to talk and be heard. Other times it means learning practical skills and clear steps to move forward.

Over seven years she has helped people address confidence struggles, parenting strain, sleeping and eating difficulties, and issues linked to trauma and addictions. Her work also covers neurodiversity, adoption and foster care concerns, and long-term health challenges including chronic pain and illness.

Katy draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. She matches methods to the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Her listed credential is NCPS, which appears with her professional details. Sessions are conducted in English and her practice is based in the United Kingdom. If someone wants to begin, they complete the platform questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to take steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication, which can be useful when anger or intense emotions are a problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so sessions remain relevant and useful.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let a person use different tools in-session, such as worksheets or breathing exercises, and keep continuity when life events make in-person meetings harder. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor online pacing and techniques to suit everyday routines and practical needs.
