About Roy

Roy Yelverton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship strain and parenting concerns. He works with issues such as low self-esteem, grief, career stress and compassion fatigue. Roy takes a respectful and sensitive approach and focuses on helping each person move toward a more fulfilling life.

Roy spends time listening to what matters to each person. He aims to understand where difficult feelings come from rather than only naming symptoms.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around individual needs and personal goals. He encourages clients to notice and experience feelings while offering calm, steady support. His practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ways of working to help people build clarity and direction.

Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is part of the picture. The emphasis is on practical steps people can try between sessions and on building day-to-day coping skills. With four years of professional experience, Roy aims to create straightforward plans rather than complex labels.

He treats people with sensitivity and avoids one-size-fits-all solutions. Conversations are plain and focused on what will help right now. Sessions are offered in English and run through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Roy works with issues including addictions, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related problems, family and relationship difficulties, and a range of attachment and abandonment issues.

Ways of working Roy names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Roy’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-led action. It suits issues like anxiety, depression and life transitions where making small behaviour changes matters.

Client-Centred Therapy - This approach puts the person’s experience at the centre. The counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental listening to help people feel understood and find their own solutions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy - When past harm affects day-to-day life, trauma-focused work helps process memories and reduce their hold on present feelings. Techniques are used carefully and paced to each person’s needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and tone. Phone sessions work when connections are simpler or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, quick reflections or times when typing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, caring commitments and travel.
