Katy Raven is a counsellor who focuses on helping people affected by stress, anxiety, depression and trauma.

About Katy

Katy Raven is a counsellor who focuses on helping people affected by stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works at a pace set by the client and offers a compassionate space to talk. Her approach aims to help people feel able to name and manage the issues that matter to them.

Katy uses a pluralistic framework, drawing mainly on person-centred skills. She listens for how past experiences shape present reactions and looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and focused on small, usable changes as well as understanding feelings. Her work covers relationship difficulties, post-traumatic stress and abuse, and the ripple effects of major life changes. She also supports people dealing with panic, social anxiety, workplace stress and feelings of isolation.

Katy helps with chronic pain, caregiver strain and challenges that bring guilt or shame. Sessions are flexible so they can match how someone feels on the day. The pace and methods are chosen together, and the emphasis is on kindness rather than pressure.

Katy’s three years of practice are used to hold complex material and to help people build safer ways of coping. People who want straightforward support around practical problems and deeper emotional work will find a clear, steady style. The aim is to increase understanding, reduce overwhelm and find ways to move forward that fit each person’s life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

People can access two complementary evidence-based approaches that Katy commonly uses. Person-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through feelings and discover what they need. It helps with anxiety, depression and dealing with past hurt. A pluralistic approach combines techniques from different methods chosen together with the client, so sessions can include practical exercises, reflection on past patterns, or short behavioural tasks depending on the goal.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katy will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and test out ways of working. The process is collaborative - methods are adjusted as progress and needs change so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing notes between sessions, or people who find typing less direct. These options aim to increase flexibility and make regular contact easier to fit into daily life.
