Azita Yorrick , BACP

Azita Yorrick is a BACP counsellor with seven years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She has a background supporting people through bereavement, stress and anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem and motivation. Azita believes people are the experts in their own stories and draws on that belief in each session.

She spent three years working in bereavement at a hospice, supporting people through loss and grief. For the last four years she has worked in a secondary school setting with young adults, helping them manage life transitions and emotional challenges. These roles shaped her practical, down-to-earth approach to counselling.

In sessions Azita listens carefully and helps people untangle what feels overwhelming. She focuses on simple, honest conversation and on identifying personal strengths that can be used to make change. She aims to help people understand themselves more clearly rather than offering quick fixes.

Azita often works with concerns such as abandonment, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness or pain, commitment worries, communication problems and control issues. She also supports people facing divorce or separation, domestic violence, eating-related problems, guilt, shame and loneliness.

Her style is warm and respectful. She encourages small steps and realistic goals so progress feels manageable. Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to make that step feel worthwhile.

Client-centred counselling online and how it helps

Client-centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of counselling. The therapist offers listening, reflection and empathy to help people make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, relationship questions and exploring self-esteem issues.

Azita will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will listen to needs, discuss goals and suggest ways of working that feel comfortable. Deciding on a method is a joint process and can change as work progresses.

Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility to fit sessions around daily life and practical constraints.
