About Yvonne

Yvonne Harrison works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She uses a client-centred approach and has 11 years of professional experience as a counsellor and counselling lecturer and supervisor. Yvonne is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She focuses on helping people talk through distressing events and difficult feelings. In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person and follows their pace. She aims to help clients find their own ways of coping and making changes that fit their life.

Yvonne has supported people after sexual assault and abuse, and those who self-harm. She also works with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours and with clients who are hearing impaired. Her approach stays rooted in the person’s experience rather than a fixed set of techniques.

As a lecturer and supervisor she brings experience from teaching and mentoring other counsellors. That background informs her practice and keeps her work reflective and up to date. She draws on straightforward talking therapy and listening skills to help people review problems and build practical coping steps.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Yvonne helps people identify small, realistic changes and notice what works. She encourages review of progress so the work can be adjusted as needed.

How client-centred work and online sessions fit together

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers understanding and reflects what is said to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits work on anxiety, stress, grief and relationship to past abuse because it keeps attention on the person’s experience.

In practice the counsellor uses straightforward talking and reflective listening rather than directing clients to fixed techniques. That makes it easier to adjust the way sessions run as needs change. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working together until a helpful fit is found, so deciding the approach is a collaborative process.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for maintaining continuity of care and fitting therapy into everyday life.
