Yvonne Wood, BACP

Yvonne Wood is a fully qualified Person-Centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She holds a degree in Person-Centred Counselling and brings five years of professional experience and training to her work, offering empathetic support to adults from diverse backgrounds.

Working from a core person-centred perspective, Yvonne creates a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients are invited to explore emotions, identify recurring patterns, and reconnect with their values and sense of self. She integrates other therapeutic methods when appropriate to tailor support to each individual, gently guiding people as they build emotional resilience and greater self-acceptance.

Yvonne provides professional counselling through her private practice and contributes in a voluntary capacity to support people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and trauma. Her clinical work addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse recovery, grief and bereavement, relationship and family issues, self-esteem and identity difficulties, stress, coping with life changes, and intimacy-related problems.

Her approach emphasises collaboration and respect for the client as the expert on their own life. Yvonne focuses on helping people make sense of painful experiences, untangle difficult feelings, and move toward clearer thinking and greater emotional well-being at a pace that feels manageable.
