About Katy
Katy Raven offers a person-centred, pluralistic approach that puts the client's pace and needs first. Katy explains things in straightforward terms and creates a calm space for people to talk through what feels hard. She aims to be kind and practical, helping people find small, useful changes that make life easier.
Katy focuses on stress, anxiety and depression, along with relationship struggles and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing big life changes and those coping with chronic pain, illness or disability.
Background and approach
Communication problems, workplace pressure and feelings of isolation are common topics she helps people untangle. Her practice draws on exploring past experiences and noticing how they affect present behaviour and thinking. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and test different ways of responding.
The pace is set by the person in therapy, and the work adapts to how someone is feeling that day. Katy has three years of practice experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and NCPS is the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.
She works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. People can expect a listening style that aims to build a good, reliable connection. Katy offers support for issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, attachment concerns, guilt and shame, and women's issues.
The focus is on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than rushed fixes.

Online support
Another useful element is skills-based work that looks at unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. This involves noticing triggers, testing small changes and practising alternative responses, which can reduce panic attacks, social anxiety and persistent worry.
Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. Katy treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That way the work fits the person's needs, pace and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits in-depth conversation and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping the focus on practical, day-to-day progress.
