About Roy
Roy Yelverton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and issues around self-esteem. Roy aims to offer respectful, sensitive support that helps people take the first steps toward change.
He draws on four years of professional experience and practices with a focus on what lies behind symptoms. Rather than only naming a diagnosis, Roy looks for the roots of problems so conversations lead to real changes in day-to-day life.
How Roy works
Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and priorities. Roy uses approaches that encourage people to notice their thoughts and values, and to process difficult memories in a way that feels manageable. He emphasises practical skills for coping with stress and difficult feelings, alongside space to talk about grief, family pressures, or identity concerns.
He aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. People can expect a collaborative process. Roy listens, asks questions, and helps set realistic goals.
He balances practical exercises with open conversation so clients can try things between sessions and reflect on what helps. Roy is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support options
How Roy’s approaches translate to online work
Roy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on what matters to them. ACT offers simple exercises to build action around personal values and can be useful for anxiety, stress and issues with motivation.He also uses Client-Centred Therapy which gives people space to be heard without judgement. This approach is about empathy, listening and helping clients find their own solutions, and it suits those who need steady supportive dialogue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then together they choose techniques to try. That collaborative planning means methods can be adapted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
