Katy Yeates helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She supports adults facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and major life changes. Katy also works with people coping with sleep problems, self-esteem difficulties, anger and career uncertainty.
She has seven years of experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Katy's manner is warm, calm and compassionate. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs that day, whether that is space to talk, practical tools, or small clear steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
She aims to make conversations straightforward and focused on what will help in daily life. Katy draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. This allows her to combine talking, skill-building and exploring patterns that affect relationships and mood.
She adapts techniques to fit each person's situation and pace. Practical issues such as sleep, eating, work strain or parenting stress are addressed with plain language and workable strategies. Katy pays attention to safety, coping and realistic goals while helping people regain steadiness after difficult events.
Sessions can include breathing or grounding practices, thought-focused exercises and planning small behaviour changes. People preparing for therapy are guided through simple next steps. Katy listens first, then helps set a direction that feels manageable.
The aim is to build confidence and practical ways to cope between sessions.
Therapy approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying valued directions and taking small steps towards them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. It can help with anxiety, low mood and overwhelm by shifting attention towards meaningful action.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and managing strong emotions.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape emotional responses. It helps people understand relationship issues, communication difficulties and repeated cycles that cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and how they react to different methods. Together they choose or combine approaches that feel most helpful and realistic for the person's life.
Online therapy with Katy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less data and can be easier when a quick check-in fits a break at work. Chat or messaging works well for shorter updates, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare and travel.
