About Roy
Roy Yelverton helps people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and relationship concerns. He focuses on issues such as addictions, grief, self‑esteem and parenting struggles. He aims to make a worrying time feel more manageable.
Roy offers calm, respectful support as someone works through difficult moments. He uses a person-focused way of working rather than only looking at symptoms. That means talking about what led to the problem and what keeps it going.
Background and approach
Roy listens for patterns like attachment wounds, abandonment fears, or codependency and then shapes conversations around those themes. Sessions are practical and down to earth, not full of jargon. Over four years he has supported people with trauma and abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, intimacy and commitment difficulties, and career or family stress.
He combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centred conversation and trauma-focused methods. These approaches guide how he helps people notice painful thoughts, clarify values, and practise different ways of responding. Roy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom.
He conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats. He tailors the pace to each person, and invites clients to shape the goals and length of work. People who choose him can expect a steady, non-judgemental approach and help to build new ways of coping.
Roy aims to support people toward clearer thinking, calmer responses and more satisfying relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps even when emotions are difficult. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work; the counsellor offers empathy and listening while the person finds their own solutions. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the ways past harm continues to affect thinking, feelings and relationships and supports stabilisation and gradual processing.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Roy works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort and life situation. He reviews progress and adjusts the plan as required so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access steady support without long travel or major schedule changes.
