How Katy works
Katy uses a mix of approaches to match the situation. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and act on values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.
Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current reactions. Client-centred practice keeps the focus on what each person wants to achieve. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques are available for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Katy works with a wide range of concerns including sleep and eating issues, parenting strain, ADHD, chronic illness and career stress. She also supports people facing bereavement, separation and transitions. Sessions can include conversational space, skill-building and goal-focused steps.
Starting therapy can feel difficult, and Katy aims to make that first step straightforward. The first meetings explore what matters most to the person and set practical goals. From there she adapts the pace and tools to fit the client’s situation and preferences.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches online and what they offer
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most and encourages small steps towards those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thoughts and build new coping habits, useful for stress, sleep trouble and depressive thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust them over time.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel; phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins, notes between sessions or times when writing is easier.
These online formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists and counsellors, use these methods to offer flexibility while focusing on practical skills, emotional support and achievable goals.
