Roy Yelverton , BACP

Roy Yelverton is a UK-licensed therapist who holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) credential and brings four years of professional experience to his practice. He has particular experience supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse and works with a broad range of concerns including addictions, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and career issues. Roy treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect individual needs and circumstances.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Roy aims to identify where difficulties are rooted and what maintains them in day-to-day life. His work looks beyond diagnostic labels to understand patterns, attachment dynamics and past experiences that can feed problems such as anxiety or low mood, so that change feels meaningful and lasting.

Roy emphasizes a calm, supportive stance that helps people notice and work with their feelings in the present moment while building practical steps forward. He frames the move toward a more fulfilling life as an act of courage and seeks to empower clients by treating the person not just the symptoms.

Approaches for online therapy and practical support

Roy integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Trauma-Focused Therapy into online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports building a values-driven life despite ongoing struggles - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the lasting effects of traumatic experiences by gently addressing memories and their impact, which can help with symptoms related to trauma and abuse.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Roy takes a collaborative stance to determine what will work best for each person. He discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with clients and adapts methods so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single model.

Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapists from different locations while still receiving consistent, professional support.
