Yvonne Cochrane, BACP

Yvonne Cochrane is a qualified Integrative-Relational Counsellor and Psychotherapist with six years of clinical experience, offering a compassionate, client-centred approach to emotional and psychological wellbeing. She creates a warm, supportive environment where adults and young people can explore life’s difficulties at a pace that feels right for them, trusting that each person’s journey is unique.

Her practice draws on a range of therapeutic methods tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Yvonne places value on building trust, authenticity, and connection, believing these elements often enable deeper insight and lasting progress.

She supports people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, identity concerns, life transitions, and unresolved trauma. Whether clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or are seeking greater self-understanding, she helps them make sense of their experiences, recognise unhelpful patterns, and develop new ways of coping and growing.

Yvonne acknowledges that reaching out for support can be daunting and meets each person where they are, offering calm guidance and collaborative exploration. She aims to provide a non-judgemental space in which people feel heard, respected, and empowered. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Yvonne works using client-centred therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the person’s own perspective and goals guide the work. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, addressing self-esteem concerns, and navigating personal life changes. She also draws on psychodynamic therapy, which explores how past experiences and relational patterns influence current feelings and behaviours; this can be useful for understanding recurring relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and unresolved emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Yvonne discusses options with each person, listens to their needs and goals, and adapts her methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model. This partnership helps identify which techniques feel most helpful over time.

Online therapy with Yvonne offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable. Licensed professionals and therapists can work effectively through these channels to support progress, offering accessible ways to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.
