About Yvonne

Yvonne Cochrane works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and low mood using a client-centred and psychodynamic approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has practised for six years. Yvonne frames sessions around the concerns you bring and explores how past experiences and current patterns affect feelings and behaviour.

She explains things in plain language and lets people set the pace. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, improving communication, and finding practical ways to cope with life changes. This can include work on intimacy, self-esteem, career concerns and issues around separation or family strain.

Yvonne uses client-centred methods that place the person’s perspective at the centre of the work. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships and experiences shape present reactions. Together these approaches aim to increase self-understanding and reduce repetitive unhelpful patterns.

Her work covers a broad range of topics including attachment issues, communication problems, men’s and women’s concerns, multicultural matters, isolation and a sense of emptiness. She also supports people through midlife questions and workplace stress. The emphasis is on talking things through and making practical changes where helpful.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Costs vary with location and are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the Talk to a counsellor online button and complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s thoughts and feelings at the centre of each session and focuses on being listened to and understood; it is useful for anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how earlier relationships can influence current reactions, which can help with long-standing problems and difficulties around attachment and intimacy.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss the approaches during early sessions and agree what fits best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography did not specify them. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and making it easier to attend around work or family commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler and reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online options to keep counselling accessible and to support continuity of care.
