Yvonne Harrison, BACP

Yvonne Harrison is a counsellor and counselling lecturer who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She draws on 11 years of practice and a background in counselling education to guide conversations that can feel overwhelming. Yvonne emphasises the client’s own strengths and experience as the starting point for change.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions offer space to talk things through at a steady pace and to build small practical steps for daily life. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them shape goals that feel achievable.

Yvonne uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means she follows the person’s lead and pays attention to their experience in the moment. This style suits people who want a supportive, non-directive setting to understand their thoughts and habits. It can help with anxiety, low mood, reactions after trauma, and coping with loss.

As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - she combines clinical work with teaching and supervision. That mix informs her practice and keeps her approach grounded in current counselling conversation. She welcomes questions about how sessions run and what to expect.

People exploring therapy can expect clear, down-to-earth discussion about practical next steps. Yvonne aims to support people as they try out new ways of thinking and acting, so change can happen in everyday life.

How client-centred methods translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, listening carefully and following what the person brings to the session. It helps people who want a supportive space to understand their thoughts and everyday habits and to try small changes in daily life.

Because her work emphasises listening and reflection, online sessions can still provide the same conversational space as face-to-face meetings. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to find the best way of working, matching the approach to their needs, goals and preferences rather than insisting on one method.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy routine and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or regular appointments that slot into work or family life. Confirm the session formats available before booking to make sure they suit your needs, as current options are listed when you start the matching process. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt their style to suit online sessions and help clients make steady progress.
