About Yvonne
Yvonne Wood is a counsellor who offers calm, practical support for adults facing difficult times. She works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and trauma. Her manner is straightforward and kind, aiming to help clients feel heard and more able to cope.
She trained in Person-Centred Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Yvonne draws on that client-centred foundation and blends in other approaches when helpful.
Background and approach
This means conversations focus on the person's experience, not on labels or quick fixes. In sessions she listens for themes that shape a person's life story. Narrative ideas can help people see problems as separate from who they are.
Attachment-based thinking looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional responses. Practical tools are used alongside reflective talking. Cognitive techniques can help change unhelpful thinking, while existential questions look at meaning and choice.
Mindfulness and present-focused work are available when people want ways to ground themselves. Yvonne has around five years' experience and offers support for a wide range of concerns, including addictions, parenting strain, body image and chronic illness. She also volunteers with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, providing steady, long-term support.
Her style is patient and collaborative. She helps people untangle difficult feelings, notice patterns, and make small manageable changes. The aim is to build clearer thinking and greater emotional resilience so people can move forward at their own pace.

Therapy methods and how they work online
Yvonne draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate problems from their identity by retelling life events in a different way. This can be useful for relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues and patterns that keep repeating. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to notice how early relationships shape present reactions and connection to others, which often helps with intimacy worries and managing stress.She also works from a client-centred position that values the person's own understanding of their life. That approach focuses on being heard and respected, and it helps people name what matters most. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist and client look at needs, goals and preferences together and adapt the work as understanding grows.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for people who prefer typing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
