About Yvonne
Yvonne Wood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing relationship strain, anxiety, grief, depression and parenting concerns. She draws on five years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Yvonne aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly and begin to make sense of their struggles. Her style is warm and person-centred.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, and progress moves at a pace that feels manageable. Yvonne blends several practical approaches into her work.
She uses attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness to help with stress and grounding. These are woven into a person-centred framework to keep the client’s needs central. Typical concerns addressed include trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addiction, intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Yvonne also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and communication problems. People meet her for one-to-one counselling using formats that suit their routine. She offers a supportive space to explore difficult feelings, build new ways of coping, and work towards clearer choices in life.

Approaches that guide online counselling
Attachment-Based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people notice repeated struggles in close relationships and want to change how they relate. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. It gives people space to tell their story and decide what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to shift feelings and behaviour; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which approaches to use and adjust them as things change, so therapy stays relevant and collaborative.
Online therapy offers a range of practical options. Video calls let people use body language and deeper conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments.
