Yvonne Cochrane

Yvonne Cochrane, BACP, offers a calm, client-centred approach for people feeling alone, overwhelmed or stuck. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and changes in life. Her way of working aims to make it easier to name what feels difficult and to find small practical steps forward.

Yvonne creates a warm, supportive space where people can talk at a pace that feels right. She focuses on building trust and connection, and uses talking therapy to help people understand patterns that can keep them feeling stuck. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a rigid programme.

Her work draws on client-centred principles and psychodynamic ideas. Client-centred therapy keeps the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and is helpful for issues like low self-esteem and relationship struggles. Psychodynamic approaches look at how past experiences and patterns influence present feelings, which can be useful when coping with grief or emptiness.

Yvonne has worked in counselling and psychotherapy since 2018, which gives her six years of practice. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which appears in her credentials as supplied. Her practice responds to multicultural concerns and a range of life-stage issues without assuming one single route to change.

If you are unsure what to expect, she encourages a first step of a brief questionnaire and an initial scheduling conversation. That helps match what you need with how she works before you commit to ongoing sessions.

How this therapist uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas online

Client-centred therapy keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens with attention and reflects what is said, helping people feel understood and to clarify what matters. This approach suits worries about relationships, low self-esteem and life changes.

Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences and recurring patterns shape current feelings and behaviours. It can help when people feel stuck, empty or keep repeating the same relational difficulties, giving space to notice those patterns and consider different responses.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss aims and preferences with each person and decide together which approach or mix of approaches fits best. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
