About Katy

Katy Yeates is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood and big life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, relationship and communication difficulties, confidence and self-esteem problems, and issues around addiction and sleep. Katy works with adults who want practical tools as well as space to talk.

Katy uses a calm, warm and compassionate style in sessions. She adapts each meeting to what the person needs that day, whether that is listening, coaching, skills practice, or concrete next steps. That flexibility means sessions can feel focused or more open depending on the moment.

Her work draws on a mix of psychologically informed approaches. She blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-based thinking to help people manage thoughts, build helpful habits, and improve close relationships. Dialectical behaviour strategies and a client-centred way of meeting people are available when they suit the goals.

Katy has a particular interest in adoption and foster care related concerns, and in supporting people navigating changes linked to parenting, blended family issues and neurodiversity. She aims to help people feel steadier, make clearer choices, and rebuild day-to-day routines.

Starting therapy often feels difficult, and Katy emphasises a gentle, non-judgemental pace. She offers practical tools alongside space to reflect, and works collaboratively to set realistic steps forward.

Approach-focused online counselling and practical support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values rather than getting stuck. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and close relationships affect current patterns and helps people develop safer, more reliable ways of relating to others. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session, offering a non-directive space where the counsellor follows the client's lead and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Katy will work together with each person to choose which methods feel most helpful. That collaboration means techniques can be tested and adjusted as goals change and new issues arise.

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 week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills at home between sessions and for people to join from different locations within the UK. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep continuity of care when life makes face-to-face meetings harder.
