Katy Yeates
Calm, practical support for life’s hard moments
About Katy
Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who helps people cope with anxiety, stress, grief and low mood. She supports adults facing relationship problems, confidence struggles, addiction concerns and major life changes. Her work also covers sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career worries and the challenges of ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Katy uses a warm, calm and compassionate style. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Sometimes that looks like space to talk.
Background and approach
Other times it means practical tools or clear steps to try between meetings. She draws on several approaches to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy can offer skills for managing strong emotions and changing unhelpful patterns.
Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working help people feel heard and understood while they make sense of relationships and past hurts. With seven years of experience, Katy focuses on practical progress as well as emotional relief. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope with daily life.
Work can include short-term coaching-style goals or longer therapeutic exploration depending on need. Therapy is offered in English and delivered online in a range of formats. Katy’s registration is NCPS, and sessions are provided from the United Kingdom.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to fit their availability.

Sessions & fees
How Katy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them, then focus on values-based actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and those struggling to make life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches straightforward skills to reduce worry, improve sleep and ease low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) adds practical strategies for managing intense emotions and improving coping when distress feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Katy will work collaboratively to identify which approach or combination fits best with a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
