Yvonne Wood supports people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. She also helps with addictions, eating concerns, parenting strain, career worries and coping with big life changes. Yvonne is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registrant and practises from a person-centred stance.

Her sessions are calm and straightforward. She listens without judgement and lets the person lead the pace. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and understand.

Background and approach

This approach helps people find small, manageable steps forward. Yvonne combines person-centred work with other approaches when it helps. She draws on attachment ideas to look at long-standing patterns.

She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness to build present-moment coping skills. In practice she focuses on building trust and practical responses to everyday problems. Sessions involve talking through recent events, looking at how past experiences shape reactions, and trying out new ways of coping.

The tone is collaborative and down to earth. She has around five years of experience working in counselling roles and voluntary settings. Yvonne aims to help people feel clearer, more resilient and better able to make choices that suit their lives.

If someone is unsure where to begin, she offers an initial match and planning conversation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Yvonne combines person-centred work with attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Person-centred work focuses on being heard and understood, helping people notice what matters to them and choose their own path. Attachment-based work looks at long-term patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape present reactions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) examines thoughts and actions, offering straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey and is done together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit their needs. Plans are reviewed as things change so the method can be adjusted collaboratively.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls make conversations close to face to face, phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on consistent, accessible support.
