Yvonne Wood , BACP

Yvonne Wood is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. She also helps with addictions, parenting concerns, work and career pressures, eating issues and intimacy-related worries. Yvonne is a BACP member, which means she follows the professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Yvonne uses a person-centred base in her work. That means she listens without judgement and helps people find their own resources to cope. She blends other approaches as needed to match what each person brings to sessions.

In practice she helps people talk through painful memories, notice repeating patterns in relationships, and build small practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, whether that is managing overwhelming feelings, handling life changes, or rebuilding self-worth.

She has around five years' experience working with adults in both private practice and voluntary roles supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse and trauma. That background informs a gentle, patient style that aims to make it easier to speak about difficult topics.

Yvonne offers counselling in English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions can be arranged by following the site process to match and schedule with her.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns of connection formed in early relationships. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and offers ways to build safer, steadier connections. Client-centred counselling focuses on understanding a person's experience without judgement. It gives space to be heard, to reflect, and to make choices that fit personal values. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and can help with anxiety, stress and unhelpful cycles of thinking.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Over time the plan can be adjusted so work feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel, while keeping communication flexible and consistent.
