Yvonne Cochrane , BACP

Yvonne Cochrane is a counsellor who supports people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and questions about self‑esteem and life purpose. She works with adults on career worries, intimacy-related issues and coping with major life changes. Yvonne also pays attention to multicultural concerns and women's issues when these come up in therapy.

Her style is warm and client-centred. Sessions aim to be calm and steady, with pace set by the person attending. She values an honest, trusting working relationship as the core of change. That relationship is used to notice patterns that keep problems repeating.

Yvonne draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence current feelings and choices. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to each person in the room. Together these approaches help people make sense of difficult emotions and the stories they tell about themselves.

She has practised since 2018 and holds BACP registration, which is noted here as a professional credential. Her work has focused on issues such as attachment concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation, loneliness and midlife questions.

Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, providing different ways to connect. People who are unsure about starting are invited to begin with a short matching questionnaire and practical scheduling steps to find a good fit.

Approaches and online offering that fit your life

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to therapy. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so people can explore feelings, build self‑understanding and decide what matters most to them. This approach helps with anxiety, low self‑esteem and relationship questions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and patterns influence current feelings and choices. It helps people spot repeated behaviours and hidden emotions that can keep them stuck, which is useful for attachment issues, identity questions and long‑standing difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond in early sessions. Together you will try ways of working that suit your needs and adapt them as progress is made.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls are close to a face-to-face session, phone calls can fit a break at work, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around home, work and travel.
