Roy Yelverton

My availability may change from week to week and clients will always have advance notice of this. Weekly sessions will always be available though the day may change if this is unavoidable.   My session times are flexible in accordance with client needs . 

My work is person centred which means i treat the client not the symptoms.   I use various methods in order to work with my clients needs, this may incorporate Gestalt therapy, Acceptance commitment therapy and interventions such as attachment theory as and when needed. The therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is unique and once we have established what is needed in order to be of most benefit to the client we can set up the contract and work towards the client’s aims and objectives .  

I offer a free initial session of 30 minutes on zoom or a similar platform, before meeting face to face in the counselling suite based in Scarborough. Walk and talk sessions can be arranged if this is a method the client feels comfortable with .  Venue will be discussed with clients to establish the most suitable area. 

Zoom sessions are always an option if clients are happy with this method. Home visits can be arranged as long as the therapy area is safe and free of distractions as confidentiality is vital for both client and counsellor.   

First session or assessment will be on zoom and is free of charge and is a 30 minute session for both client and counsellor to “meet” and the client can decide from there if they would like to go ahead with regular sessions.   Normal sessions are 50 minutes long.
