About Katy
Katy Raven offers a straightforward, person-focused counselling style that aims to make starting therapy easier. She sets a calm tone and lets the client lead the pace. Sessions are offered with kindness and without pressure so people can speak about what matters most to them.
Katy works with stress, anxiety and depression, and she supports people through relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps with life changes that leave someone unsure how to cope.
Background and approach
Conversations look at current patterns, ways of thinking, and how past experiences affect present behaviour. Her approach is pluralistic and person-centred. That means she draws on different techniques to match each person’s needs, while keeping the relationship between counsellor and client central.
The aim is to explore feelings, understand reactions, and try practical steps that can feel manageable day to day. Katy has three years of practice experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She works with issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, isolation, communication problems, guilt, and workplace strain.
Katy also offers support around chronic pain, caregiving stress, attachment concerns and women’s issues. Sessions are available in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire guides the initial connection and appointments are scheduled around client preferences.

Online support
She also uses techniques that look at how past experiences shape current reactions. These methods help identify repeating patterns and offer practical ways to change unhelpful behaviours. For problems such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress or communication difficulties this can open clear steps for day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Katy will discuss options, try different ways of working and adjust based on a person's goals and how they respond. This is a collaborative process so clients help shape the focus and pace of therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions suit longer conversations and visual connection while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the day. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick reflections and written records of thoughts to revisit between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
