About Yvonne

Yvonne Harrison helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing obsessive thoughts or compulsions, self-harm, sexual assault and people who are hearing impaired. Yvonne speaks plainly and focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life feel more manageable.

She is a BACP member, which means she follows the professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

How Yvonne works

Yvonne has worked in counselling for eleven years and also teaches and supervises other counsellors. That experience informs how she listens and responds to people in sessions. Yvonne uses a client-centred approach.

That means she puts the person’s experience first and follows their lead in sessions. Conversations focus on the client’s goals and the strengths they already have. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what feels comfortable.

Yvonne aims to create space for people to talk through painful memories, manage anxious thoughts and build confidence in small steps. She offers a calm, patient style rather than quick fixes. If someone is unsure where to begin she will help them set practical goals and review progress as therapy continues.

The emphasis is on realistic changes people can use in their everyday life, not on jargon or long lists of techniques.

Online support options

Client-centred care online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgment, follows the client’s pace and helps them make sense of feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and difficulties after abuse since it focuses on the person’s experience and aims to build self-understanding.

Yvonne will work together with each person to find the right way forward. Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative step taken after initial conversations about needs, goals and preferences. She supports clients to try small, practical changes and checks in to adapt the approach as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when people prefer to see the counsellor. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find typing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and mobility needs, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
