Katy Yeates, NCPS, is a UK counsellor with seven years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress and overwhelm. She works with people facing grief, low mood, confidence challenges and major life changes, offering steady professional support tailored to each individual's situation.

Her manner is warm, calm and compassionate, and she adapts each session to suit what the client needs in the moment. Whether a person wants space to be heard, practical tools they can use between sessions, or clear, manageable steps forward, she shapes the work around those priorities.

Katy recognises that beginning therapy requires courage, and she frames the process as a partnership. She aims to help people feel more steady, supported and in control as they navigate difficult emotions and transitions. The NCPS credential indicates her professional training in counselling practice and underpins the practical, empathetic approach she brings to her work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take steps that align with what matters most. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress and patterns that hold people back. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, offering a way to understand relationship struggles, trust issues and patterns of closeness or distance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the person leads the pace of change; this approach supports self-exploration, confidence building and emotional processing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Katy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to find practical, sustainable ways forward together.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit support around work, family and everyday life. For many people, remote options increase access to regular sessions and allow continuity of care from licensed professionals and therapists wherever they are located.
