Katy Yeates
About me
I’m a UK-based counsellor with seven years’ experience supporting adults through anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, overwhelm, grief, low mood, confidence struggles and life changes.
My approach is warm, calm and down to earth. I tailor each session to you whether you need space to talk, help making sense of things, or practical ways to move forward.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You don’t have to have it all figured out.
We can take it at your pace, together.

Katy is brilliant; she listens intently and helps you understand your current situation and thought patterns.
She’s helped me challenge some negative thoughts/behaviours and provides practical ways to help overcome them.
My general happiness and relationships with others have improved massively since speaking to Katy, I can’t thank her enough!

I have found my sessions with Katy very good. She listens and takes on board what I say. She always gives feedback back when I prompt her to which I haven’t found with other therapists in the past. I would highly recommend her.
