Roy Yelverton, BACP

Roy Yelverton is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He also helps with issues such as parenting, work stress, grief and low self-esteem. He works in English and approaches each person with respect and sensitivity.

He spends time finding what sits behind a problem rather than only treating its symptoms. That might mean looking at past experiences, attachment patterns, or difficult life events that keep causing the same pain. He frames conversations so people can talk through feelings in the present moment while feeling supported.

Roy uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions are adapted to each person - some want practical strategies, others prefer space to reflect. He aims to tailor dialogue and a plan to meet individual needs.

Roy describes his role as support and empowerment. He helps people take the first steps toward change, however small those steps may be. The emphasis is on gentle guidance and building skills that help day-to-day functioning.

Work is offered online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The style is calm and grounded, intended to make it easier to talk about difficult experiences and to work toward clearer goals.

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then practise small values-based actions. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and problems caused by avoidance. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own solutions by reflecting their experience back in a non-judgemental way. Trauma-Focused Therapy works with the memories and patterns that follow traumatic events, aiming to reduce their ongoing impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you progress so the plan stays relevant to you.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day, while chat or messaging allows shorter check-ins and more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and other commitments while still accessing experienced registered or accredited professionals.
