Katy Yeates, NCPS

Katy Yeates, NCPS, is a counsellor in the United Kingdom who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, low mood and major life changes including midlife concerns. She works with people coping with overwhelm, confidence struggles, addictions and sleep or eating difficulties. Katy aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

Her manner is warm, calm and compassionate. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs that week. Some people come to talk things through, others want practical tools or clear next steps to try between meetings.

Katy draws on approaches that help people notice their values, challenge unhelpful thinking and build steadier coping habits. She uses methods that encourage self-awareness, improve communication, and teach emotion regulation skills in everyday life.

She has seven years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Katy aims to help people feel steadier, more supported and better able to make decisions about work, relationships and parenting challenges.

People often bring concerns such as trauma, ADHD-related struggles, compassion fatigue, career crossroads and adoption or foster care issues. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation to help people find what works for them.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, and Katy works collaboratively to set achievable goals and adjust the approach as needs change.

How Katy’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to reduce distress in daily life. It often supports worries, sleep disruption and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest a way forward together. That means the plan can change as needs shift and practical skills can be tried between sessions.

The biography does not state which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. They also allow for different kinds of check-ins - for example a shorter phone-style catch-up or a full conversational session - depending on what suits the person that week.
