About Yvonne
Yvonne Harrison helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also focuses on issues such as obsessive thoughts and compulsions, self-harm, sexual assault and supporting people who are hearing impaired. Yvonne is based in the United Kingdom and draws on 11 years of professional experience to guide conversations that matter.
Yvonne works in a client-centred way. That means she listens first and follows the person’s pace.
Background and approach
She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on their strengths. Sessions are practical and respectful, aimed at small, manageable steps. Her background includes counselling practice alongside roles as a counselling lecturer and supervisor.
This mix keeps her approach grounded in current thinking and everyday clinical experience. She uses straightforward language rather than clinical jargon so people can focus on change rather than theory. In sessions she supports people to make sense of painful experiences and to develop clearer ways of coping.
Conversations might cover coping skills for anxiety, ways to manage obsessive thoughts, or working through grief and trauma-related reactions. The emphasis is on what helps the individual move forward. People can expect a calm, patient style and a focus on practical goals.
Yvonne aims to empower rather than direct, helping clients notice strengths and build confidence over time.

Approaches Yvonne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and together they will decide what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer not to use audio or video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to access support from different locations.
