Hi,

I’m Yvonne, a Qualified Counsellor & Therapist

Offering Affordable and Low Cost Counselling

With experience in both private practice and community services, my clients are age 18+, and I support them across a wide range of issues, including:

  • Anxiety

  • Abuse

  • Addiction

  • Depression

  • Food-related disorders

  • Loss & Grief

  • Parenting related issues

  • Menopause & Perimenopause related issues

  • Trauma

Often, my clients experience several issues, sometimes simultaneously or what seems like from moment to moment, often recurring over the course of their lives, back and forth between one or another issue. This is very common, and although this pattern may have become my clients’ “norm”, many begin therapy exhausted from years of battling against these issues.

I am trained and qualified as an Integrative Counsellor & Therapist. Additionally, since 2023, I have been training in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach. You might have heard of this approach as “Parts Work”, which, in my experience is a beautiful way of creating a safe space as I help clients to safely explore the many aspects of the crisis or distress they are experiencing, leading to healing and resolution.

I hold a BSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Middlesex University, having studied at PCI College, Dublin, and I am registered with the IACP, working in adherence to their professional Code of Ethics.

My Approach

Helping To Heal What Hurts Within

My foundational training was as a humanistic integrative practitioner, encompassing various therapeutic approaches, including existentialism, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), person-centred approach and psychodynamic therapy.

Today, my main therapeutic approach is informed by the IFS model, and helps you to begin building a relationship with the different Parts of your inner world. In time, you experience more of your real Self, and healing begins.

In my experience, very quickly this starts to bring clarity, calm, compassion, confidence, creativity and connection back into your life — and often the courage to sit with the Parts that need attention most. A whole new perspective towards life begins to develop.
