Katy Raven, BACP, NCPS

Katy Raven uses a pluralistic, person-centred approach to therapy. She aims to move at a pace that feels right for each person and to provide a calm space for honest conversation. Katy's emphasis is on kindness, clear goals and practical steps rather than pressure.

Katy helps people sort through stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties and big life changes. Work in sessions looks at current problems, thought patterns and behaviours to find useful ways forward.

Her work includes support for attachment concerns, caregiving stress and the emotional side of chronic illness and pain. Communication breakdowns, control issues, separation and workplace pressures are also common topics she addresses. Katy pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, loneliness and panic symptoms.

With three years of clinical experience, Katy draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centred stance. BACP and NCPS appear after her name to indicate professional registrations she holds. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Katy encourages people to set the pace and to focus on small, practical steps that build over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Placing a person-centred perspective at the heart of sessions, Katy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. This approach helps people feel understood while identifying practical steps that make daily life easier. It is especially helpful for anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

Katy also works within a pluralistic framework, blending techniques to suit the individual. That might include exploring past experiences and how they affect current reactions, or working on unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. These methods are often used for trauma, panic symptoms and attachment-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Katy collaborates with people to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences and the pace they want. She checks in regularly and adapts the work as things change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy lives while keeping the therapeutic focus on progress.
