Yvonne has worked in counselling since 2018 and holds BACP accreditation. She builds sessions around a trusting relationship and clear, down-to-earth conversation. The aim is to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try practical ways to cope.
Background and approach
Her practice pays close attention to attachment and communication difficulties. She also works with separation and divorce, feelings of emptiness, midlife questions and workplace strain. Cultural factors and gender-related concerns are taken into account where relevant.
Sessions are paced to suit each person. Yvonne listens first and then offers possible routes forward, combining insight about past experiences with everyday strategies for the present. This mix helps people make sense of difficult feelings and take small steps towards change.
People can expect clear language and a calm approach in sessions. Yvonne aims to make talking about what hurts easier, whether someone wants to focus on feelings, relationships or practical next steps. The process is collaborative and straightforward.

Approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The therapist listens closely and reflects what is said so people feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding and space to make their own choices.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence current feelings and patterns. It can be useful for recurring relationship problems, attachment issues and long-standing difficulties that feel hard to shift.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Choices are revisited as therapy continues so the plan can change when needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while working with a registered or accredited professional.
