Roy Yelverton, BACP

Roy Yelverton is a UK-licensed therapist with more than 4 years of professional experience and holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse and takes an approach grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

He adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Roy believes it takes courage to begin change, and he aims to support and empower clients as they take those first steps toward a more fulfilling life. His focus is to treat the whole person rather than only addressing symptoms.

When clients present with difficulties such as anxiety or depression, Roy seeks to identify where those symptoms are rooted rather than concentrating solely on clinical descriptions of how the brain responds. He offers practical support in the here and now, accompanying clients as they experience and process emotions within a calm, supportive environment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Roy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as core approaches in his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical strategies to accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences so that distressing memories and reactions become more manageable - it is often used for trauma, abuse, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Roy works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the work as it evolves, combining elements from different approaches when that better supports progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt techniques to work effectively across these formats while keeping the focus on the client’s goals and comfort.
