About Roy
Roy Yelverton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction and relationship strain. He frames therapy as a shared process and focuses on what a person needs in the moment.
Roy aims to treat the whole person rather than only managing symptoms. He asks about the life context where difficulties started and looks for patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person's concerns and pace. In sessions he offers a calm, respectful presence and encourages people to notice their feelings rather than avoid them. He works to create an environment where clients can name painful experiences and try new ways of coping.
This can include talking through difficult memories and practicing strategies to make daily life easier. Roy uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ways of working, alongside trauma-focused methods when relevant. These approaches guide how he listens, reflects and helps people find values-based direction.
He explains ideas plainly and checks in about what is useful. With four years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Roy draws on practical methods and steady support. He encourages small, achievable steps and adapts his approach as people’s goals change.

Approaches Roy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also draws on trauma-focused therapy to support people who have been hurt or overwhelmed by past events. That work aims to gently process difficult memories and reduce the ways trauma shows up in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Roy discusses options and tailors methods to each person's goals, needs and preferences, so the plan can change as progress is made. The relationship and collaboration guide which techniques are used.
Online therapy with Roy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines. Video sessions work well when visual connection helps the conversation, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caring commitments and busy schedules.
