About Katy

Katy Yeates is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports adults with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low mood, grief and sleep problems. She works with people facing big life changes, confidence struggles and feelings of overwhelm. Katy aims to make sessions a calm, steady space where people can talk things through and find practical steps forward.

Her style is warm and compassionate. Katy meets clients where they are and adapts each session to their needs. That might mean listening and reflecting, giving simple coping tools, or helping to plan clear actions to try between meetings.

She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different concerns. Katy uses methods that focus on thoughts and behaviour, emotional connection, acceptance, and practical skills. The combination helps with immediate symptoms and longer term change.

Katy has seven years' experience working with adults on issues including addictions, parenting strain, career stress, and coping with grief. Her background includes work around attachment, mood disorders and neurodiversity-related concerns, among other focuses.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative. Katy helps people set achievable goals, notice what is working, and adjust the plan as needed. Starting therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to make the process straightforward and supportive.

Approaches that guide online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most and on small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries practical experiments to shift behaviour and mood. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will discuss what you want to achieve and try different ways of working together. That shared process helps shape a plan that fits your goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example sessions can suit a lunch break, reduce travel, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep momentum between meetings and to offer flexible scheduling that fits everyday routines.
