Evonne Ungate, BACP

Evonne Ungate is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, major life shifts and long-standing emotional pain. She has 16 years of experience and offers a calm, warm presence for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, depression, or career and family stress. Her manner is straightforward and respectful, with an emphasis on listening first.

Evonne works in a way that keeps the person at the centre. She uses person-centred conversations and short, practical steps to help people notice what is working and what could change. Sessions tend to be conversational, with time spent on goals and small actions between meetings.

Her background includes work in schools with children and young adults, as well as a private practice with adults. That range means she is used to helping people of different ages talk through relationship breakdown, trauma and abuse, and parenting or caregiving strain.

Evonne combines Client-Centred Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy and draws on mindfulness tools. She explains ideas simply and helps people find day-to-day strategies for coping with stress, obsessive thinking, mood shifts and midlife transitions.

People typically choose her when they want a compassionate, non-judgemental space to think clearly about change. She encourages practical next steps and supports clients as they try new ways of responding to old problems.

How Evonne’s approaches translate to online work

Evonne uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the person. This approach means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s priorities, which can help with relationship concerns, grief and low self-esteem.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which looks for practical steps and small changes that move a person forward. That can be useful for coping with stress, career decisions and midlife transitions where clear actions help bring relief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Evonne will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt sessions as needed. The process is collaborative, so clients help decide whether to focus on longer exploration or brief goal-led tasks.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins between meetings. They can also suit people who prefer to use mindfulness or short, action-focused techniques from home or during a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical details and help match the format to each person’s daily life.
