Yvonne Harrison, BACP

Yvonne Harrison is an accredited member of the BACP, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists, and brings 11 years of experience as a practising counsellor, counselling lecturer, and supervisor. She works with adults facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self esteem, depression, and challenges with motivation and confidence. Her additional focus areas include support for people who are hearing impaired, those experiencing obsessions and compulsions or OCD, self-harm, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

Yvonne works from a client-centered perspective that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She emphasises empathetic listening, non-judgemental acceptance, and collaborative pace so clients can explore feelings and build on their existing strengths. Seeking change requires courage, and Yvonne aims to support and empower people as they take the steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

She offers a calm, respectful approach that prioritises the client-therapist relationship and practical progress toward personal goals. Prospective clients in the United Kingdom who prefer a supportive, person-led style will find her practice oriented toward understanding the whole person and helping them move forward.

Client-centered approaches and online therapy options

Yvonne practices Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that places the client at the centre of the process. This way of working focuses on empathetic listening, genuine acceptance, and supporting clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It is suited to people managing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma-related concerns, and other emotional challenges because it builds on the client’s own insights and strengths.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Yvonne collaborates with each person to identify which methods and goals feel most appropriate, adjusting the style of sessions based on the client’s needs, preferences, and progress. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to individual circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists regardless of local constraints.
