Katy Yeates, NCPS

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who supports adults with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low mood. She also helps people facing overwhelm, confidence struggles, addictions, parenting strain and big life changes. Katy uses a calm, warm manner so people can talk about what feels hard. She adapts each session to what the person needs in that moment. Sometimes that means space to talk and be heard. Other times it means practical tools or clear steps to try between meetings. Katy uses a mix of approaches that suit different problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice feelings and try new ways of coping. She also uses client-centred listening and elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation is needed. Her NCPS credential is shown as NCPS. She has seven years of experience working with adults across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, trauma and eating or sleeping problems. Katy helps people work through career stress, relationship communication and the challenges of parenting without implying quick fixes. Katy aims to make starting therapy straightforward. She will work with each person to set simple, achievable goals and review progress over time. People who contact her can expect a respectful, down-to-earth approach that focuses on what matters now.

How Katy’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of responding, which often helps with worry, sleep difficulties and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people relate now and can be useful for relationship stress and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katy works collaboratively to choose methods that match someone’s goals and preferences, and she reviews progress as therapy continues. That means plans can change if a different mix of techniques would help more.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed in the biography. Katy aims to make sessions useful and accessible so people can work on immediate concerns, build coping skills and plan small steps forward that suit their everyday life.
