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 significant life changes. She combines a calm, warm and compassionate manner with practical guidance, tailoring each session to what an individual needs most - whether that is space to talk, concrete tools to manage symptoms, or clear steps to move forward.

As an NCPS-registered practitioner, Katy brings professional training and a commitment to ethical practice to her work with clients. Her style aims to create a steadying presence that helps people regain a sense of control and resilience when life feels uncertain. Katy recognises that starting therapy takes courage and offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment for people to explore difficult experiences and build coping strategies.

Her sessions are adapted to the client rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, with attention to practical outcomes alongside emotional processing. Katy’s goal is to help clients feel more supported, more steady and better equipped to face the challenges they bring to therapy.

Therapeutic approaches guiding online support

Katy often works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches, each offering different ways to address emotional difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more secure ways of relating - it can support healing around relationship issues and trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client’s own capacity for growth - it provides a respectful, nonjudgmental space for processing grief, low mood and confidence struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Katy works collaboratively with clients to identify techniques and frameworks that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time to suit what is most helpful for each person.

Online therapy with Katy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they allow Katy to tailor the pace and format of sessions to each client’s circumstances.
