Roy Yelverton, BACP

Roy Yelverton is a UK-licensed therapist with more than four years of professional experience and membership in the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has particular experience supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, and he emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate way of working.

Roy adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person's individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. He frames therapy around the whole person - not only the presenting symptoms - and seeks to identify where patterns such as anxiety or depression are rooted so that change can be sustained.

Roy views the decision to begin therapy as a courageous step toward a fuller, more satisfying life and aims to support and empower clients through that process. His practice centers on helping people stay present with their feelings while offering steady support in a calm and safe environment, and he works collaboratively to tailor interventions that match each client's priorities and pace.

Online Approaches Grounded in Trauma-Informed Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to actions that reflect their values. This approach can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, avoidance patterns, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most to the individual.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration. It supports clients seeking greater self-understanding, improved relationships, and coping strategies for stress or low self-esteem.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the effects of traumatic experiences, offering practical strategies to reduce distress and restore a sense of agency. Roy integrates this work with care for the person's present-day needs and coping resources.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Roy, as a licensed professional, will work with each client to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility and easier access to consistent care. These formats make it possible to schedule sessions around work and family commitments, to engage in the communication style that feels most comfortable, and to continue therapy from different locations as needed.
