About Yvonne
Yvonne Cochrane offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low mood. She also supports people facing life changes, workplace pressure, intimacy concerns and questions about identity or purpose. Yvonne is a counsellor with BACP registration and six years of practice in the United Kingdom.
She aims to create a calm, welcoming space where people can speak freely and take things at their own pace. Yvonne uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions.
Background and approach
That means listening carefully, reflecting what’s said and helping people find their own solutions rather than imposing fixed answers. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns and past experiences that might be shaping current feelings and relationships. Her approach is conversational and steady.
Sessions are practical and supportive, with room to talk about emotions, relationships and the pressures of daily life. She helps people notice recurring patterns, try different responses and build more helpful ways of coping. Yvonne works with concerns such as attachment difficulties, communication problems, divorce and separation, loneliness and midlife transition.
She also pays attention to cultural background and gendered experiences when these matter to the person in front of her. The emphasis is on understanding what matters to each individual and tailoring the work accordingly. If you are unsure what to expect, Yvonne encourages a first conversation to see if the approach feels right.
She aims to help people feel heard and to support steady change over time.

How Yvonne works online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time, including how past relationships can shape present feelings and behaviour. This approach can be useful for understanding attachment problems, identity concerns and recurring emotional difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which ideas and techniques to try, adjusting the plan as goals and needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily around daily life and avoiding travel time. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to maintain continuity while managing work, family and other commitments.
