Yvonne Wood , BACP

Yvonne Wood is a fully qualified Person-Centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She provides compassionate, professional counselling for adults through her private practice and also offers voluntary support to people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and other trauma.

She works from a person-centred foundation, creating a non-judgemental, supportive space where the individual is treated as the expert on their own life. In that environment she helps people explore present difficulties, reconnect with their values and needs, and build on inner strengths at a pace that feels comfortable.

Yvonne works integratively, using a core Person-Centred approach alongside other therapeutic methods when helpful. She trained to degree level in Person-Centred Counselling and has five years of professional training and practice. Her work supports people dealing with anxiety and depression, trauma and PTSD, childhood sexual abuse recovery, grief and bereavement, domestic abuse, relationship and family difficulties, and self-esteem and identity concerns.

She aims to help clients untangle painful experiences and make sense of emotions and patterns that affect day-to-day life. Those seeking more information or wishing to ask questions can get in touch to learn about her practice and how she may be able to help.

Approaches for online counselling and therapeutic support

Yvonne draws on a person-centred framework that prioritises the client’s own experience and pace. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and active listening so that individuals can explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-worth; it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and general emotional overwhelm.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns of relating. This approach helps people understand attachment styles, improve intimacy, and address difficulties rooted in abandonment or attachment wounds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address depressive thinking by identifying unhelpful patterns and testing new ways of responding.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Yvonne collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the work as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet people where they are - whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access support from different locations, and to maintain continuity of care, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to make meaningful progress.
