About Yvonne
Counsellor Yvonne Kidman Fowler is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner with nine years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with addictions, LGBT concerns, family and parenting matters, eating issues, anger and ADHD.
Yvonne takes a straightforward, talk-based approach. She listens first and helps people clarify what they want to change. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage feelings and behaviours that get in the way of daily life.
Her background includes using methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. These approaches guide how she frames discussions about values, relationships and emotional patterns.
In the room she aims to help people notice patterns that cause distress and try small changes. That might involve looking at how past relationships affect current worries or practising new ways of handling difficult thoughts.
Yvonne works with a wide range of concerns listed above and with related issues such as abandonment, control problems, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and isolation. Her style is conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what helps someone cope day to day.
To start she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It looks at personal values and small actions that move someone towards those values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and avoidance.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and work on different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That makes sessions collaborative and responsive to what actually helps.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before you book. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel by removing the need to travel to an appointment. It can also allow shorter check-ins, or ways of working that do not rely on being on camera, depending on what the counsellor offers. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use different formats, and Yvonne will outline the practical arrangements when you arrange your first session.
