Roy Yelverton, BACP

Roy Yelverton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and work or parenting stress. He uses a respectful and sensitive approach that focuses on the whole person. He aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation and priorities. He understands it can take real courage to ask for help and offers steady support during that first step.

He describes his work as finding where symptoms begin rather than only naming them. That means talking through the life events and patterns that have shaped feelings such as anxiety, shame or low mood. He helps people stay present with difficult emotions while offering calm, steady guidance.

Roy draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. These approaches inform practical steps and simple skills people can use between meetings. The aim is to connect values and actions so change feels useful and sustainable.

He holds BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has four years of professional experience working in the field.

Sessions are conducted in English and he is not taking international clients. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches guide online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small steps that match those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by building practical habits and greater psychological flexibility. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-directive relationship where the counsellor listens closely and follows the client’s pace. This helps people feel heard and understood while they work through personal issues. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic events and reducing ongoing distress through paced, supportive work that honours the person’s limits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before to agree a plan. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to match changing needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep regular appointments while managing work, childcare or health constraints. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use these practical benefits to make ongoing therapy more workable for everyday life.
