Katy Yeates, NCPS

Katy Yeates is a UK counsellor who supports adults with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties and major life changes. She works with people facing overwhelm, confidence struggles, addictions, ADHD and challenges at work or home. Katy aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, straightforward support.

Her style is warm and compassionate. Sessions are adapted to what the person needs - a listening ear, practical coping skills, or clear steps to move forward. Katy uses a mix of established approaches to guide the work rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Over seven years she has helped people dealing with parenting pressure, sleeping and eating problems, and the emotional fallout from separation and loss. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, body image concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Katy draws on methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking and skills from dialectical behaviour approaches. She explains tools plainly and practises them together with each person in session.

She holds NCPS, which is recorded as a credential. Sessions are offered in English and take place online using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging sessions.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasises values-driven action so someone can move towards what matters despite worry or low mood.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the problems you bring, then agree on a mix of methods to try. This collaborative process helps make sessions feel useful from the start.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers flexibility for different needs. Video works well for a full conversation and learning practical skills. Phone can be handy when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, reflective writing or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working on meaningful change.
