Azita Yorrick, BACP

Azita Yorrick is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years of experience. She has worked in bereavement services at a hospice and in a secondary school setting, supporting people through loss, stress and worries about relationships. Azita writes plainly and kindly, and she encourages clients to notice their own strengths as they begin therapy.

She focuses on common life challenges such as anxiety, family problems, low self-esteem and grief. Azita also helps people with issues linked to abandonment, blended family dynamics, body image and chronic health concerns. Practical, day-to-day worries like communication, commitment dilemmas and separation are included in her work too.

Her approach is client-centred, which means conversations follow what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are driven by the client’s concerns and pace rather than a fixed formula. This lets people talk through difficult moments and try out new ways of understanding themselves.

Azita spent three years in a hospice supporting bereavement, then four years working with young adults in a school. Those roles shaped how she listens for grief and loss, and how she supports people managing ongoing pressures. She aims to help clients deepen self-awareness and build practical ways to cope.

Azita welcomes people who are ready to start a process of change. She explains the steps involved and works alongside each person to set realistic goals. Taking that first step can feel hard and she acknowledges the courage it often takes to begin.

Client-centred support online and how it helps

Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following what matters to the person. The counsellor reflects back what she hears and helps you make your own sense of situations, which can help with anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.

Because Azita works in a collaborative way, she will help clients choose an approach that fits their goals and preferences. She discusses what is useful and adjusts how sessions run as the relationship develops, so the plan can change if a different focus is needed.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel schedules, while letting people choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
