About Roy

Roy Yelverton helps people facing anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief and career worries. He speaks English and practices from the United Kingdom, guided by four years of professional experience.

Roy is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Roy aims to treat the whole person rather than only treating symptoms. He asks practical questions to find where difficulties began and what keeps them going now.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on the present moment and on what matters to each person, with gentle attention to feelings as they come up. His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which looks at values and small steps towards what matters, and on client-centred ways of listening that put the person's experience first.

He also uses trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Roy adapts each session to the individual needs and what feels useful in the moment. People can expect a calm, respectful approach that aims to build confidence and self-understanding.

Roy highlights collaboration and practical goals so change feels doable. He encourages people to try small experiments between sessions and to review what helps and what does not. To begin, Roy asks about the practical problems a person is facing and what they hope to change.

He works step by step, helping clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping. The aim is steady progress toward a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

How Roy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, concrete steps toward those values. It suits worries such as anxiety, depression, substance use and life transitions by focusing on action rather than only on symptoms. Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on being heard and understood; the counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make sense of their experience. Trauma-Focused Therapy works with memories and reactions that stem from past harm and aims to reduce the ways those memories interfere with daily life.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods out in session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative rhythm helps make sure sessions stay relevant to the person’s needs.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
