More about Yvonne

5 years' experience
Female
BACP

Hello, and a warm welcome to you. I’m Yvonne, a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I offer professional, compassionate counselling for adults from all walks of life through my private therapy practice, as well as in a voluntary capacity where I support individuals who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and trauma.

I offer a Safe, Supportive Space to Be Heard and Heal

I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you feel truly heard and respected. Together, we can explore the challenges you’re facing, help you connect with your inner strength, and begin the process of healing at your own pace.

I work integratively with a core Person-Centred approach, gently helping you to explore your emotions, identify patterns, and reconnect with your own needs, values, and sense of self.

My Counselling Approach

As a counselling practitioner with a degree in Person-Centred Counselling and over five years of professional training, I bring both experience and empathy to our sessions. My therapeutic work supports clients with a range of issues, including:

• Anxiety and depression

• Trauma and PTSD

• Childhood sexual abuse recovery

• Grief and bereavement

• Domestic abuse

• Relationship and family difficulties

• Self-esteem and identity issues

While my foundation is Person-Centred therapy, I respectfully incorporate elements of other therapeutic approaches when appropriate, to best support your individual journey.

Healing is Possible

Life experiences—especially painful or traumatic ones—can sometimes get buried deep within us. You might find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or confused without fully understanding why. Through counselling, we can gently unpack those experiences together, like untangling a ball of string, and make sense of the emotions and patterns that affect you today.

It’s never too late to begin your healing journey. My goal is to support you in finding greater clarity, emotional resilience, and self-acceptance, so that you can move forward with confidence.

Take the First Step

Reaching out for support takes courage, and I want you to know that you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Please feel free to get in touch to book a session or ask any questions. I look forward to supporting you.

Warm wishes,

Yvonne

About online counseling

Affordable.: Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.: Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.: There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Clients mention: Recommend Support Understand Understands Amazing Grateful Helped Professional Thank you Caring

Yvonne gives me the space to talk through the various topics I’m struggling with.

Kind, compassionate. I feel comfortable opening up.

I haven’t spoken to Yvonne for a while but the sessions I have had have been very helpful.

She is very nice and really understands you ❤️

I feel very much at ease with Yvonne. I feel that she truly understands my problems. Most times she has spot on assessments on what is going on, that help me discover the true nature of my feelings or behavior. I am always eagerly looking forward to our sessions.

Yvonne has been the first therapist with whom therapy hasn't felt like a chore, but something that actually helps. I couldn't recommend her more.

After 3 sessions I feel like I have a good rapport with Yvonne.

Yvonne is amzing. She can understand my problems and she listens. That is really amazing. I appreciate her gentle approach with me.

Yvonne is a wonderful counselor. Thoughtful, professional and a great source of authentic and careful support. She guided me through my worst times and I will always be grateful.

Yvonne is a Kind, caring, empathetic therapist whom I highly recommend.

I have dealt with a lot over theses months and without Yvonne I wouldn’t have been able to get through it she helps me understand and she hears me and has helped me so much for without her I wouldn’t have been able to get through it

Yvonne is an excellent therapist! I really enjoy her approach. She helped me learn how to set healthy boundaries which improved my life drastically. Thank you, Yvonne!❤️

Talking to Yvonne is like talking to a family member. Her voice is calming and comforting. I felt very supported by her.

Yvonne is an active professional listener, who is able to help me reflect and offers me prompts to think about. She has validated my concerns as real concerns to be discussed. I feel she understands me and each week helps us even more. I feel blessed I have found her and look forward to working with her!

I started seeing Yvonne at a tumultuous and transformative time in my life. In the past 7 or so months of being her client she has shown nothing but kindness, support and compassion- and I am so grateful that I got to speak with her. Without her guidance and support I would be doing as well as I am now. I am never going to forget the help she’s given and empathy she has shown me. Thank you for everything Yvonne!

Yvonne is an amazing listener and can see the hidden queues, whether they are non verbal or undertones to what is said during our sessions. This hugely helps me to understand my emotions and thoughts, and give clarity on how to proceed with certain situations within my relationship.

Very very good

She is a very nice and kind person :) I always feel supported and relieved after talking to her because she is a very nurturing person and i highly recommend her therapy sessions!

Early days and don’t have any experience myself so difficult. So far it has been worthwhile and needed to adjust my expectations!

I have enjoyed working with Yvonne so far. She creates a safe space for me, she validates my feelings but also helps me to challenge my thought patterns.
