About Katy

Katy Raven offers a compassionate, person-centred way of working that aims to help people feel heard and understood. She prioritises what each person needs and moves at a pace they can manage. Katy keeps sessions flexible so clients can talk about what matters most to them on any given day.

She combines a pluralistic outlook with person-centred skills, which means she draws on different approaches to suit the individual. Katy helps people look at how past experiences affect life now and how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going.

Background and approach

This practical focus supports work on anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. Katy has three years of practice experience supporting people through stressful life changes and complex emotional issues. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, panic and social anxiety, and problems that come from workplace or caregiving stress.

She also helps with chronic pain, illness and the emotional strain that can follow separation and divorce. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and a space to make sense of guilt, shame, isolation or communication problems. Katy pays attention to attachment patterns and control issues when these get in the way of feeling safe in relationships.

She also supports people navigating narcissistic dynamics and the fallout from those experiences. Katy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS. She offers sessions in English and works online in formats that suit different needs.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Katy lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Her core approaches are person-centred and pluralistic. A person-centred approach focuses on listening closely and following the client’s pace, helping people feel understood and able to talk about difficult experiences. A pluralistic way of working means she can draw on different evidence-based techniques depending on the issue, for example looking at patterns of thought and behaviour to reduce anxiety or addressing trauma-related responses to help with post-traumatic stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit the person’s goals, and adjust as progress is made. Clients and therapist choose together which ways of working feel most useful and practical.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep visual contact while working from anywhere with a good connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and different energy levels.
