About Yvonne
Yvonne Wood offers counselling for people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, addictions and difficult life changes. She works with adults who are struggling with parenting, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, career pressures, depression or compassion fatigue. Yvonne aims to create a calm space where people can be heard and begin to make practical changes.
Yvonne uses a person-centred way of working that treats the client as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and helps people name feelings, spot unhelpful patterns and reconnect with what matters to them. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical steps and clearer understanding. She draws on several approaches to suit each person’s needs.
These include existential ideas about meaning and choice, attachment-based ideas about how relationships shape us, cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle thoughts and behaviours, and mindfulness practices to manage stress. The overall aim is to help people build resilience and find clearer choices in daily life. Yvonne is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
She has around five years of professional experience and works with people across a broad range of life issues, including complex health and caring situations, body image, abandonment concerns and communication problems. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Yvonne supports people who want a compassionate, steady presence while they untangle painful experiences and make practical changes.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It is useful when someone feels stuck, questions purpose or faces major life changes and wants space to weigh their options.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It can help when someone finds patterns in relationships that cause pain, difficulty trusting others or trouble with intimacy.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own answers and build self-trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might help, then adapt the work as things change. This collaborative way helps make sure sessions feel relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works well if internet bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins and messaging is useful for ongoing support between sessions. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities or mobility needs.
