Yvonne Cochrane, BACP

Yvonne Cochrane is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, career worries and major life changes such as separation or midlife transitions. Yvonne uses a warm, person-centred manner so people feel heard from their first session.

She trained as an integrative-relational counsellor and psychotherapist and has practised since 2018. That gives her six years of experience working with common problems like isolation, communication difficulties and questions about life purpose. Yvonne places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of her work and aims to build trust and authenticity over time.

Her style is gentle and attentive. Sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns and trying different ways to cope. She adapts her approach to what each person needs rather than following a fixed method.

Yvonne draws on client-centred ideas which prioritise the client's perspective, and psychodynamic thinking that looks at how past experiences shape present feelings. Together these help people make sense of repeated patterns and find new options for moving forward.

She works with adults and younger people who want clearer thinking and steadier emotional balance. Yvonne aims to make starting therapy less daunting by explaining the process and walking alongside clients as they decide what feels right.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier experiences shape current feelings and patterns. This approach can help when someone wants to understand repeated relationship problems, attachment issues or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Yvonne will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and methods feel most useful. That conversation happens together, and may shift as goals and needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful for those who prefer to speak from their own environment or who need a flexible schedule. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online ways of working to support ongoing progress.
