About Roy

Roy Yelverton is a counsellor who focuses on parenting and related concerns. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, depression, and issues linked to addiction. He also addresses intimacy concerns, self-esteem and career worries.

He is identified with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in a direct and person-centred way. Roy aims to treat the person rather than only the symptoms.

That means talking about what sits behind anxiety or depression and looking at how feelings show up in daily life.

Background and approach

He offers calm, compassionate support while people face difficult emotions. Roy uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred methods, and trauma-focused work when these fit a person’s needs. He will adapt sessions to each individual and build a plan based on what matters to them.

Sessions are practical and grounded in day-to-day life rather than abstract theory. His practice emphasises sensitivity and respect. Roy encourages people to identify the roots of painful patterns and to try new ways of responding.

He aims to create a steady, supportive space for that exploration. With four years of professional experience, Roy helps people move from stuckness toward clearer choices. He supports the steps people take to feel more empowered and to improve how they relate to themselves and others.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them decide actions, and then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on treating the person with empathy and respect, following the client’s pace, and creating a non-judgemental space to talk about hard things. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the effects of past traumatic events and uses structured support to reduce their hold on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roy will discuss options and try methods that suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He aims to make choices together so therapy feels relevant and manageable rather than imposed.

Online sessions can be very flexible. Video calls let people talk face-to-face without travelling. Phone sessions or live chat need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Text-based messaging can help with quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on steady progress.
