Yvonne Wood

Yvonne Wood is a fully qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She offers professional, compassionate counselling for adults from all walks of life through her private practice, and she also works in a voluntary capacity supporting people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and trauma.

Yvonne provides a safe, supportive space where clients can be heard and begin to heal. She works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life, and her role is to offer a confidential, non-judgemental environment in which people feel respected and listened to. Working integratively with a core Person-Centred approach, she gently helps clients explore emotions, identify patterns, and reconnect with their needs, values and sense of self.

She holds a degree in Person-Centred Counselling and brings over five years of professional training and five years of experience to her therapeutic work. Yvonne supports people with a range of issues including anxiety and depression, trauma and PTSD, childhood sexual abuse recovery, grief and bereavement, domestic abuse, relationship and family difficulties, and self-esteem and identity concerns.

Life experiences - especially painful or traumatic ones - can become buried and contribute to feeling overwhelmed, anxious or confused. Through counselling she helps clients gently unpack those experiences, much like untangling a ball of string, to make sense of the emotions and patterns that affect their lives today. It is never too late to begin a healing journey, and her aim is to help clients find greater clarity, resilience and self-acceptance so they can move forward with more confidence.

Reaching out for support can take courage; Yvonne is available to walk alongside clients as they begin this process. She looks forward to supporting people who choose to take that first step.
