Yvonne Cochrane, BACP

Yvonne Cochrane helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low mood. She also supports those wrestling with life changes, self‑esteem, career concerns, intimacy issues and family problems. Yvonne is named at the start so it is clear who leads the work.

Yvonne works in a warm, listening way. She uses a client‑centred stance that puts the person’s experience first. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice longer standing patterns and feelings that affect day to day life. Sessions move at a pace that feels right to each individual.

Her practice aims to build trust and an honest working relationship. In conversation she helps people make sense of events, spot repeated ways of reacting and try out different choices. Practical coping and clearer communication are often part of the work alongside exploring deeper emotions.

Yvonne has practised since 2018 and holds BACP as a stated credential. Her background includes supporting people through divorce and separation, attachment and communication difficulties, midlife concerns, questions of life purpose and multicultural issues. The range of focus areas reflects the kinds of concerns she commonly addresses.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. She does not work with international clients at this time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so people can match with her according to availability.

If you are unsure what to expect, she meets people where they are and works collaboratively to find helpful next steps.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following their concerns. It aims to make people feel understood and supported while they work through stress, relationship trouble, low mood and self‑esteem issues.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and early relationships that shape how people cope today. It can help when someone feels stuck, empty or keeps repeating the same relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client explore which methods fit best for the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That joint decision can change over time as the work unfolds.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in conversations when schedules demand it. It can also suit people who prefer talking without being on camera or who need a quieter way to attend. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss what will work best for each person during the initial steps.
