Seanna Yates

I currently offer sessions Wednesday or Thursday between the hours of 10 am and 4pm.  

There maybe some flexibility in my working hours based on client demand.  

I work with clients experiencing challenges in a relationship, feeling overwhelmed at work, struggling with anxiety or low mood, or trying to make sense of life after the loss of someone important, whether recently or many years ago.

I mainly  work in a solution-focused way, helping clients recognise and gently break unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaviour that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we identify what is not working, explore what needs to change, and build practical, realistic strategies that support lasting emotional wellbeing.

My approach is collaborative, warm and grounded. I believe that with the right therapeutic relationship, people can grow, develop new life skills and strengthen their resilience. Therapy is not about “fixing” you — it is about helping you understand yourself more deeply, respond differently, and feel more empowered in your life.

My experience includes working within Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), private medical settings, voluntary services and private practice. This breadth of experience enables me to support clients facing a wide range of personal and professional stressors and I use a range of modalities dependent on clients needs.  

I offer a warm, confidential space in a private office for face-to-face sessions, as well as telephone and Zoom appointments.

The following modalities  listed are used to help clients understand their mental health better and learn new ways to deal with difficult life situations.  Below are a list of therapeutic interventions I have built into my private practice over the years.  

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)

Person-Centred Therapy

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Bereavement Counselling

Trauma-Informed Practice

Anxiety & Depression Support

Behavioural Pattern Work 

Before our first session together I  ask for a phone call to discuss your issues and what goals you may want to focus on and what times and days are best suited for you and to answer any questions you may have to ask about myself.  

This is  free initial call and should last no longer than 15 minutes.
