Background and approach
Her background means she is familiar with a wide range of emotional difficulties and practical problems that bring people to therapy. Her style is person-focused and down-to-earth. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Sessions are intended to feel supportive and empowering rather than directive. In the room she listens closely and helps people make sense of what they are feeling. She works at the client’s pace and supports practical steps when someone is ready to try them.
The aim is to find manageable changes that improve day-to-day life. Yvonne welcomes people who want a thoughtful, respectful counsellor who will offer steady support. She also provides teaching and supervision for other counselling professionals, drawing on her years of practice.
Her approach is plainspoken and focused on helping people move towards a more fulfilling life.

Client-focused approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experiences at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and the aftermath of trauma where someone needs a calm space to make sense of things.Yvonne will work collaboratively to identify which ways of working fit best. Finding the right approach is part of the process and she will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person before agreeing a plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people share in writing and can fit around busy schedules or provide more flexible check-ins. These options make therapy easier to fit into daily life and help maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
