Yvonne Harrison, BACP

Yvonne Harrison is an accredited member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings 11 years of professional experience as a counsellor, counselling lecturer, and supervisor in the United Kingdom. She works from a client-centered perspective that places the person at the heart of the therapeutic process and honours each individual's strengths and knowledge of their own life.

Yvonne supports people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and depression, and she also offers focused support around motivation and confidence. Her practice includes work with those affected by obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, self-harm, and sexual assault and abuse, and she has experience supporting people who are hearing impaired.

She believes that reaching out for help takes courage and that meaningful change grows from a collaborative relationship where the therapist offers support, empathy, and professional guidance while the client remains the expert in their own story. Yvonne aims to empower people to build on their strengths and to take practical steps toward a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Client-Centered Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the therapist listens actively and reflects what matters to the person seeking support. This approach helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and the emotional impact of trauma by emphasizing empathy, validation, and the client’s own goals.

Yvonne uses these client-centered principles to help clients explore their experiences at their own pace and to build on existing strengths. Figuring out the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process - Yvonne and the client work together to identify priorities, try approaches that suit the client’s needs, and adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support without long travel or scheduling barriers. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care in a way that fits daily life.
