Roy Yelverton , BACP

Roy Yelverton is licensed to practice in the United Kingdom and brings over 4 years of professional experience to his therapeutic work. He has particular experience supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, and he approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Roy tailors conversations and treatment plans to reflect each individual’s circumstances rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. He emphasizes understanding where symptoms are rooted, helping clients explore the underlying factors behind issues such as anxiety or depression. His practice focuses on supporting people in the here and now while guiding them to process difficult emotions in a calm, safe environment.

He identifies as a practitioner who treats the person, not just the presenting symptoms. That means attention to personal history, relationships, and patterns that influence wellbeing, with practical support and empowerment offered throughout the therapeutic journey. Roy holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works to create a collaborative space where clients can take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in identifying personal values and taking meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is practical for issues like anxiety, stress, and life transition where learning to live with uncomfortable emotions can reduce their impact on daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual’s experience, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating identity or intimacy concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences, using strategies that help reduce the hold of past events and improve day-to-day functioning. It is suited to those dealing with trauma, abuse, or dissociation.

Roy views choosing an approach as a collaborative step - he will work with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That shared process allows adjustments over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from familiar surroundings, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical work and emotional processing.
