Background and approach

Yvonne encourages small, practical steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Her background includes counselling work, lecturing and supervising other counsellors. That mix gives her a calm, experienced manner in sessions and an interest in learning alongside each person she sees.

She draws on her time supporting people through loss, trauma and obsessive or self-harming behaviours. People who are hearing impaired can discuss adjustments to make sessions easier. Yvonne also has experience supporting those affected by sexual assault and abuse, and by obsessive thoughts and compulsions.

She works to create a steady space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Yvonne aims to empower clients to make changes that suit their life. She helps people break problems into manageable parts and build practical coping strategies.

Her goal is to support steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Client-centred approaches and online access

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens carefully, follows the client's lead and helps them notice their own strengths. This approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and the impacts of trauma because it focuses on steady, person-led change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Yvonne will discuss options and decide collaboratively which way of working feels most helpful. That means tailoring sessions to your needs, goals and what feels manageable at the time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you speak face to face when you prefer visual contact. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or you want a longer conversation without being on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, travel or caring commitments and help keep contact consistent when life gets busy.
